well i want to know why you think caleb gindl should be ranked so high...

 

i'm high on him too, but i want o see anothr 100 ab's before i make him a top ten kinda guy

I have a good feeling about the guy, amongst superb scouting reports and eye-boggling production. Extend that production out to a full season with a BA 100 points lower. It is amazing for a guy his age. I'm totally geeked about the guy. He's my reverse Corey Hart.

#2 for LaPorta? Has a #1 pick rated that high so early? I'm not disagreeing, just wondering.

 

Weeks started at #4. I don't think anyone else (besides LaPorta) has started top 5 since the Power 50 started coming out. LaPorta was #5 his first time.

Considering how low Braun started, that is quite a debut for Matt. If he stays healthy, he might go up quickly.

 

Where exactly does LaPorta play in the field? I hear his defense is questionable. He can't play 1B either.

He'll be in left field unless he proves he can't hack it. I'm assuming he's at 1B now because his quad's not at 100%.

I am extremely excited about LaPorta, Jeffress, Brewer, Gindle and LuCroy as well. I also believe that Alicedes will be a starting second basemen in this league for a long time. Gamel is, at best, a poor outfielder and an awful thrid basemen. He seems like an Oakland kind of guy, where he could DH. He sure can hit though. Cain, Gillespie, Ford, and Fermaint all have high ceilings, and you have to think at least one of them will reach it. My favorite guy might be Brewer though. He just gushes with talent, and he could easily supplant J.J. if Hardy doesn't progress from where he is at. We have a ton of quality hitters coming our way.

Alcides Escobar actually is a shortstop, and an outstanding one at that. He has a rifle arm and makes major league plays. After seeing him play in Huntsville, I'd say his defense looks major league ready. The bat is another story, and he could also use a few more pounds on his frame. Like 50+ pounds.

In response to the quote above, I am wondering what your judgement of Gamel being a "poor outfielder at best" is based upon. Have you EVER seen him play an outfield position or are you just assuming? Please explain.
