Posada msut be good to be ranked 4th and 7th at the same time.

Berkman after Ichiro, Holliday, Wells and Figgins...not in my book.


Pedro 6th and before Webb? You do reealize he will miss at least half of 2006?

Kazmir before Smoltz?


You really like Glaus before Furcal? Or Figgins before ARam and Atkins?

My thoughts:

I'd probably take Derrek Lee over Delgado and Giambi. I'd take Dunn before Giambi and probably before Delgado as well. I'd also stick Sexson between Delgado and Giambi, since he really turned it on in the second half.

I'd bump up Weeks a few spots in 2B. I'd drop Figgins down among 3B, and Chipper and Glaus should be much higher. In the OF I'd drop down Bay, Dye and Figgins and bump up Berkman and Carlos Lee.

Kazmir, Pedro, Papelbon, Verlander, Mussina, Garland and Wang all seem way too high.

figgins way too high

[RJ24VC15]

Pedro @ #6? No way

[sportsguy138]

Just a couple of quick thoughts..

Delgado down a couple spots..
Weeks up a few spots..
A-ram over Figgins..
Manny up a spot..
Berkman too low..
Pedro is too high. He should miss a few months going into next season..
Garland down a couple..
Papelbon down.. who knows how he'll make the transition between closer and starter.

I personally like Kazmir though. Wouldn't drop him down. I believe he'll have a solid season.

Pretty much my thoughts on your list too.

Dunn and Tracy aren't firstbase eligible in '07

I just glanced quick, but Kendrick should be somewhere, IMO.

[suppasonic]

and Uggla is way too low.
