What you fail to understand in your joyless myopia is that baseball is the key to life-- the Rosetta Stone, if you will. If you just understood baseball better all your other questions your, your... the, uh... the aliens, the conspiracies they would all, in their way be answered by the baseball gods.

Hmmm... Trout as an option already?
He is very young and he has potential, but I have him pegged close to 75-80 with a chance to rise although I’m not quite sure I’d even have him in the top 100. Certainly HM at the worst though.

Last vote. Let’s see how it goes.

I think Trout is a top 100 guy easy
I actually have him #52. Great talent and impressed in his debut. Scouts love him. Although his tools arent Westmoreland or Hicks level he’s not that far behind those guys. Should not be on before Mitchell, though.

If I may...
I hope the voters for Posey at #3 are jokers.
- should be #3, and #3 should be #20.
Oh, and I’m a Giants fan, so if anything, I would be high on Posey. As a former high school coach, I will say this: His swing is flat, which is good, but his bat speed is very poor, with little room for improvement.
OK, I vote Parker in this poll.

It's between Scheppers, Lyles, Vizcaino and Castro for me
The latter two may be two raw for right now. Scheppers’ stuff + injury risk versus Lyles’ command, only #3 ceiling?
