Best two rookies for 2007

[El Gaupo]

Wood and Gordon..I think upton is still in the minors

Salty is my sleeper

[HOOTIE]

Stewart for sure
Drew

Not that
Wood
Upton
Butler

aren't great picks

So if I take Upton in 2006 prospect draft, will he be playing in 07, cause i would have to sign him to a contract before 07 season?

I don't see any chance of him being up in 2007 but he has a good chance at eventually being the best of the bunch. Stewart is getting very close but has competition in CO. Very tough list to choose from but if you're looking for players who will be ready by 2007, you may want to take Drew and Stewart, Milledge or Kendrick. Other guys have higher ceilings but it seems you're focusing on 2007, and I can't see taking two SSs unless you know you'll be able to spin one of them. Basically though, you can't go wrong as you might have been able to tell from all the different advice.

I see Stewart starting next year. The organization will move Atkins next offseason I believe.

Upton.

Drew because he will help this year. He could very well be the starting short stop this April.
