Default Re: Top 10 best young players in major league baseball.

No particular order, but among the ones that have been said:

Scott Kazmir, David Wright, Hanley Ramirez, Jose Reyes, Miguel Cabrera, Tim Lincecum.

and the rest:

Robinson Cano, BJ Upton, Grady Sizemore, K-Rod

Based on this season I would get Matt Cain out of there.

you probably have seen little more than his box scores, because he has among the best stuff in the big leagues, the worst run support, and the second lowest batting average against the past few seasons, behind only johan santana. he's also a younger than tim lincecum, and has made tremendous strides in only a couple big league seasons. try watching him for once and you might change your tune. it's like saying francisco liriano sucks because of what we've seen this season... that would be ridiculous.

I never get to watch west coast teams really, but I do know that he doesn't cut it as a fantasy pitcher. He gets strikeouts, which i like, but other than that I had to drop him weeks ago, and still hasn't been picked up. He's not 100% owned in ESPN fantasy leagues.

i should have put Cano up there, but his crazy slow start has left me no choice. Joba could be up there by seasons end

I agree on all these selections, but god damn has troy been a dissappointment..... If Grady is younger than 27 I would put him in instead of Troy. As for Scott as long as he stays healthy, I love his stuff!!!! And he was born on my birthday woohoo! Jan 24th. Idk i like seeing if great athletes have my b-day, kind of interesting to see.

once tulo gets healthy again, he should be back to his old ways. i'm sure we all were expecting a little sophomore slump anyway, but also, our expectations of him we're probably a little unrealistic as well. either way, he could be my shortstop anyday (as long as we get to shift reyes over to second).

Just as a friendly heads up. Nick plays right field for Baltimore with Luke Scott or Jay Payton playing left.
