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
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.

McDonald... Carter now up to #2, although I still have Hellickson and Escobar in front of him too

Voted Alonso
but Hellickson needs to be the next tester IMO.
by slamcactus on Nov 9, 2008 2:26 AM EST reply actions 0 recs
Hellickson
Ugh. None of my next 5 are even on the list.
Next 5:
Hellickson
G. Beckham
Samardzija
Salome
Matusz
Voted for McDonald on the poll in the meantime. Maybe my preferences have just gone way out of whack.
In the meantime, voted McDonald.
Vogt early, Vogt often.

did samardzija use his rookie elig?
normal people : chuck norris :: getting flustered in big games : greg davis

OT...brett hunter
but i was checking HWB stats last night and noticed brett hunter’s 2.1in/6k’s
anyone got an idea if he’s better off as a sp or reliever long term?
outside of that 1 horrible outing 7in/2h/1er/2bb/13k’s
kind of similar brackman, highly regarded got injured, then fell in draft. but have big time stuff..now regaining that stuff in the HWB

Hellickson
Definitely needs to get on the poll real real soon. He’s better than any pitcher currently on the ballot. Same could be said for Zimmerman or Arrieta
by brok515 on Nov 9, 2008 4:03 PM EST reply actions 0 recs
He's been on the poll....
And he got his ass handed to him.

there are many pitchers better than hellickson imo … i’m sure he’ll still get his ass handed to him .. :-)
I heard Tim Lincecum will win 1 Cy Young & 11 Tim Lincecums. Question is, how many Cole Hamels will he win?
