Beavan

If his fastball returns and he can maintain that kind of production, he could be a top 50 guy next year.

Kanye, you want to be the voice of this generation? Get in line! It goes me, Obamagirl, the Freecreditreport.com guys, then It's a tie between you-and Crocs.

Weak group

I look forward to some replacements. We have a lot of 0-4 folks here.

There are quite a few guys I like better than anyone on the current poll

Including Bard, Hunter and Ceda, but I’ll go with Castro. Was between him and Kulbacki.

Vogt early, Vogt often.

I thought...

this ended already. Went with Castro.

by joegonzo on Jan 12, 2009 4:30 PM EST reply reply actions actions   0 recs

Voted Kulbacki, although it seems clear he won't make it

I just wonder if his bat is just that good. Elbert would’ve been my other pick.

Wilson Ramos

I’d take him over any of these guys without a doubt.

Elbert

Everyone is asleep on Elbert. The guy has had a K/9 > 10.0 every year since 2004. And he’s only had one injury, from which he has now recovered (as opposed to someone like Jake McGee who might do anything upon returning).

Tucker...

seems about the best of this bunch. My next guys would be Brown, Montgomery, then probably Reddick, Stubbs, West, then maybe Tucker, Huff and Castro.

+1

Laughable to put Mellville ahead of him

Go Taylor Go!

Never, Never, NEVER give up

But someone will end up pulling ahead of him again lol. I’ve come to the realization that he’s never going to make the list haha.

yup

always a bridesmaid…

Castro was ok in limited sample in NY Penn league. But he did outhit taylor in very limited samples in hawaii. Fall ball. Don’t think that is too relevant. He is younger and catches.

I still much prefer taylor.

Remind me during the next poll. I will add him at that time.
