2010 up and coming players

[Johnny Tuttle]

I think the path for Eric Younger might be clearer than most assume. It's very reasonable to think Atkins won't return. That leaves Stewart at 3B. Younger would then have only Deermeat in his way for a starting 2B gig, and Deermeat might not be great competition. I do assume Barmes gets first shot, but Younger will get his chance. The OF is a very crowded way for Young, and unless he's in CF (not going to happen with Fowler, not to mention Gonzalez, too), his bat won't play well in a corner.

Eric Young, Jr., isn't a sure thing, but people like Andrus/Escobar a heckuva lot for 20-30 SBs from SS. Young could be 60+ from 2B. Giddy up.

The Rangers recently came out and called Borbon their CF, so I think that would bump up his value a bit. He should be good for quite a few R's and SB's, possibly with a decent batting average.
