Looked at this list early, and seems pretty odd to me. I wouldn't take hitters in this order at all. I think Utley may out perform Soriano this year, but should Utley be the ~20th pick while Soriano is near 50? No way I would take D Lee over Vladdy, or Helton over Manny Ramirez.
Matsui is too high, Crawford too low, Cliff Floyd that high??? and Gary Sheffield too low... Odd placement for some of these hitters.
...Boston papers now and then suffer a sharp flurry of arithmetic on this score; indeed, for Williams to have distributed all his hits so they did nobody else any good would constitute a feat of placement unparalleled in the annals of selfishness. -Updike
