I’ll go Freeman

I see the future, and it is Pablo

It should be FMart, but...

Freeman is still a ridiculous choice over Alonso.

by DrunkIrish on Nov 9, 2008 2:13 PM EST up reply actions 0 recs

No

He’s not.

What an intelligent discourse we’ve developed!

by mraver on Nov 9, 2008 2:39 PM EST up reply actions 0 recs

Agree

I’m not sure if Freeman makes my top 100.

f-martinez

agree that Martinez is overdue. I’ll repeat what i just wrote on another thread:

Martinez homered and tripled last night for Escogido, and is now OPS-ing over 1000 in the Dominican, this after missing a few games with the flu and taking the collar in the game on his return.

I like them both, but with F-Mart having OPS’d at .850 or so (can’t remember the exact #) from May 1 on as a 19 year old in AA, and now doing well in a small sample size in the Dominican, he’s screaming star.

Next year at 20 will likely start the season in AAA and be a first call-up. imho the guy’s at least a top 20 prospect much less top 40.
