Great list John
Really interested to see how you think Travis Buck's career will go. He reminds me a little of Rusty Greer with a little less pitch recognition, and hopefully a little longer career

Lincecum---my guy!!
Interesting take on my guy Timmy-----I agree with almost everything stated. I had the third pick in my NL only keeper farm draft last year, and after much research and review, decided to  take Lincecum over Gallardo and Kershaw who were also available, mainly because I thought he was more ready to come up and contribute sooner than the others----but it was close and not an easy call. I really like Gallardo and love Kershaw's upside, but I dont regret for a minute taking Lincecum, and I'll be keeping him along with Hamels and Cain as my 3 pitching horses for the next 3-5 years.
Those three, along with Valverde as my closer helped me dominate the pitching categories and carried me to victory in my league last year----I'm looking for more of the same this year and the next few as well. I just wish the Giants had a true Major League lineup to support Cain and Lincecum----its a shame-- and Sabean must be held accountable for putting together probably the worse lineup in all of baseball.

Another "Not-a-Rookie" Nomination
I would love to see a "Not a Rookie" on Rick Ankiel. I know that he is a very difficult case. Thanks.
