As always, one person's list tends to vary from the next. I like where you have Rollins, as I think he is being overrated this year. A few things I disagree with are having Pujols at 6, Santana and Peavy being so far apart, Braun after any catcher.

Thanks for the input, Pujols is a scare to me this year b/c of the elbow problem, Santana I think will have a career type of year in the NL and Peavy will still be the 2nd best SP, I'm not sold on Braun and doubt he will live up to the hype
“Never argue with a idiot, because first they will bring you down to their level. Then beat you with experience.”
There are two words I like to use to the skeptics of Ryan Braun perhaps suffering a sophomore slump: Prince Fielder.
This kid has mashed where-ever he's gone...I'm not saying he's going to hit at the same pace he did last season...but the numbers he put up last season have got to be the absolute zero for him...a floor...And over the course of a full season, I can't imagine him not improving his RBI and Run totals...the average may come down closer to .300...but he's going to steal close to 20 bases as well...I don't think you can go wrong with Braun (I wouldn't take him in the first round)...but mid to late second round the guy should be money
Why don't they just get a house that's already painted?
I think it's a valid list!! Of course we all differ in opinion on some things and not others. I'm reiterating a point here but I would say that Braun definitely should be above ALL catchers. I like Manny up a bit this year as well and I think Vlad is too low but again, those are MY thoughts on YOUR list.... The only thing I can be really critical of is that Braves logo by your name.....LOL
I'm fine if people don't like a repeat from Braun, heck if he repeats what he did over a full season he'll be a top 3 value so of course he'll regress. I also see no reason to expect Martin or Phillips or arguably Granderson who have only put up 2nd round value for one year to be significantly better than him, they are just as likely to regress as he is. Seems like it has just become trendy to see how far in your list you can drop him.

I was just about to make this excellent point but you beat me to it. Explanation CD?
