I just dont get how CC is below some of those pitchers...he has been so dominant. nice list though

[BitterDodgerFan]

it's not really a nice list actually. it kinda sucks. CC like you mentioned and wth is mauer doing at 33? felix, longoria, bay and a bunch of others way too high. and delmon young?? how does he make the top 100!?

I agree that list very questionable. Quentin at 89 and Hamilton at 38? Mauer, VMart, Kendrick, Myoung, Ellsbury, Carp, Bedard, Putz, Gordon, Tejada, Wagner, Delmon are too high (by 20-40 ranks) IMO. At least they are too high for me to pick at those spots in the draft.

[BitterDodgerFan]

and where the hell is victorino!?

(oh he's the 33rd OF in the OF rankings, behind guys like bruce, d. young, hermida...)

[sblinyy]

Santana, Webb, Peavy are too high.

I think BJ Upton is high as well.

Cano at 42 is too high.

Kendrick at 49? way too high.

Alex Gordon is too high at 77.

A. Gonzalez at 85 is way too low.

Kazmir at 88 is too low.

Quentin is way too low.

Not a very good list overall IMO.

That is a terrible list. It's always fun to make lists but it is sort of a useless exercise when there is almost 2 months of baseball still left.

Exactly. I like making lists as much or more so than the next guy but lets at least finish August first!

[horatio]

yeah that's a ridiculous list. Although everytime I look at a list I can't but thinking how I'd end up if I was in a draft that went in a similar order. Say choosing 2nd, end up with HanRam, Kinsler, Berkman, Joe Nathan, CC, Atkins, A Gonz, BJ Ryan, and Edinson Volquez. Tadow. But seriously, that's not even a good attempt at a "very very" preliminary list.

[jake_twothousandfive]

Terrible list. There are too many bad rankings to even bother trying to list them all.
