Why so low on Pena? He's not going to repeat his numbers from 2007, but 08 was pretty decent considering he struggled mighty before going on the DL. His second half was pretty good, not spectacular, but good. I think he's a lock to go over 100RBIs again and should be good for about 35HRs. AVG won't be pretty, but better than Dunn's.
Yes, and one of the few players that has a consistent ADP across sites.
A guy that's played only 122 games over his only MLB season, struck out 122 times, and played only 327 games between the majors and minors? Sure, he'll be a monster, but Beltran? Soriano? Carlos Lee? BJ Upton? I'd wouldn't draft him before Bay at 38 in a non-keeper just because of the collapse risk. In a keeper, I'd draft him 15 at the earliest but come on...

Don't shoot the messenger.
I'm not, it's just....wow. Why don't they just draft Wieters or Price in the 3rd round? It's all hype.
fast dogs: Why is everyone so quick to invoke Braun nowadays? His '07 season will far outproduce any rookie for a LONG time. It's not a comparison to make to any rookie who puts together a decent fantasy year or goes on a two week hot streak. Check this out:
Obviously, not even close. Longoria gets crushed in every category. A better comparison would be Chipper Jones with a bit more power, or Eric Hinske with a little less speed. As you can tell, it could go either way, though it obviously leans toward Chipper because Longoria was a much better prospect than Hinske was (then again, see: Young, Delmon).

He is a poor man's Dunn. How is he a top 50-60 pick and better than Delgado, Thome or Reynolds?

Special thanks to Mock Draft Central for providing me with their data this year. This allowed me to expand the MDP report to an early 100. Also added in standard deviation and 12-team round.
