Gordon - He is above the rest for me, a very good all around player
Stewart - Coors field helps fantasy-wise, but his talent will play anywhere
Marte - Could be an Eric Chavez type of player
Laroche - Probably the best power potential of the group, but needs to refine plate discipline
Zimmerman - Will be a very good real life 3b, but not as good fantasy-wise
Ian Stewart...one word...Coors
Alex Gordon...probably a little more talent than Stewart, but KC sucks and it doesn't look like they're gonna get much better...
Andy Marte...very solid...
Andy LaRoche...plate discipline isn't as bad as it's billed. .300+ hitter last year with great power.
Ryan Zimmerman...Brooks Robinson comparisons seem legit. I think he'll hit for more power than he did at UVa, as the stadium is reportedly bad for righty power hitters, but it's doubtful that he'll be hitting more than 20 at the most yearly.

You expect 30 Hrs from Zimmerman this year?!
No! I said he COULD! Besides, we are talking about potential. Why is every thing I say taken as this year?
Is pushing for President Obama to pass a law requiring all citizens to be Chicago White Sox fans and make October 1st "White Sox Day" where we all dress as our favorite player. It maybe socialist, but I don't care.

And pigs COULD fly, doesn't mean it will ever happen.
RRRRIIIIGGGGHHHHTTTTT. Im sure that there is a better chance at Pigs flying than Zimmerman hitting 30 HR. And by "COULD" i meant it was possible in the future. Certainly not this year.

You never know, science and genetics are making big leaps these days. A decade ago it was all about cloning sheep, in the future maybe mixing genetics so pigs can fly.
If that happens before Zimmerman hits 30 HR in his Career, ill eat my arm off.

I agree... Read somewhere, and they called Ian Stewart the next "Larry Walker" Stewart is a very good hitter, not just a power guy, and would be a dominating hitter in any park... Coors will just make him that much better...
So I agree with "Zito is God" Stewart can't be at the bottom of any lists..
He should be at the top, and it's not relaly close with the others..
