saw bobs list a couple of weeks ago,,, cant say that i agree with much that he has wrote after his top 2..... young and hermida are easily top 2 in my lists,,, but from barton down, not much i agree with at all.... do wish he had his own site though, cause i would love to hear his reasoning for being so down on verlander and billingsley....

Salty is probably too high. He's only in A+ ball but his upside is huge though.
Pedroia will be a solid player but top 10's are usually people who can be great. Move him down 10 spots.
I like Zumaya, heck he throws almost a hundred, but no way I rank him above Liriano, Verlander, and Billingsley.
Carlos Gonzales, similar to Salty, is probably ranked too high for his stage in his career.
Drew is top 10.
LaRoche is top 20.
He has some crazy upside picks but only ranks Troy Patton in the 50's.
