On another note, these teams look like they have very bright futures and could win a world series the next 3-5 years...
Excellent list In the top section the two who jump at me most are Milledge might be too high and Duncan too low.
61* 70**73**762*** MVP****AL07,AL05,NL04,ALNL03,ALNL02,NL01,ALNL00,AL99,ALNL98,ALNL96 RIP Cammi Cmon Bud NOW is the time to sack up and force feed an Olympic style drug testing program down Fehr's fat throat and save OUR game from these blatant cheaters!
I think Delmon Young is #1, and I like where Hanley is, but I think Markakis, Prince, and Zimmerman should be higher. These guys will be high round choices over the next 3-5 years, while the pitchers will be picked just a little later due to inherent injury risk to pitchers.
Looking at players on the same team who will be competing for starting time...................
Garza will be better than Bonser and Quentin will outperform Young.
totally agree on Garza over Bonser... though I don't know if either will be worth owning in mixed leagues next year, but I'm not sure about Quentin over Young. Quentin has done it for longer at a higher level, but a lot of people I respect are MUCH higher on Young. D-backs prospects in general scare me because of the hitter friendliness of ALL of their parks in the minor leagues...
