rangercal Posted March 25, 2008 Share Posted March 25, 2008 (edited) http://sports.espn.go.com/mlb/preview08/co...&id=3310373 Uggla over Howard? Really? No Felix Hernandez? Prince Fielder also is pretty low on this list. Edited March 25, 2008 by rangercal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChWRoCk2 Posted March 25, 2008 Share Posted March 25, 2008 (edited) This is a terrible list. Peralta is way too high. Thats the one thing I mostly have a grudge with. Edited March 25, 2008 by ChWRoCk2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve9347 Posted March 25, 2008 Share Posted March 25, 2008 At least we have one guy on there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can make an argument for Fields and Jenks(though, Krod is not on the list) . Also, not saying he should be in the top 50, but, Buehrle will still only be 34 at the end of 5 years. Not counting on it, however, In a perfect sox world Quientin and Alexei can jump into this type of discussion 1 year from now.

Jake Posted March 26, 2008 Share Posted March 26, 2008 For some reason, Sox players generally never grab the spotlight with non-sox fans. A notable exception of course would be Frank Thomas, who I think was liked by a lot of a non-sox fans. I think if Buehrle played for the Yanks, he'd be a well-liked and extremely well known baseball figure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thats the one thing I mostly have a grudge with. He shouldn't even be on the list, period. I mean, what about guys like Joba Chamberlain, Phil Hughes, Ian Kennedy, Jacoby Ellsbury, Jon Lester, Jonathon Papelbon, and Clay Buchholz to name a few. He was obviously aiming for a list filled with fresh faces and guys on the younger side by putting Johnny Peralta on there. AND what the hell, no Felix freaking Hernandez? IMO, he may seriously be the future of the MLB. Edited March 26, 2008 by jenks45monster Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BearSox Posted March 26, 2008 Share Posted March 26, 2008 Joba is a stud though... he's not gonna be a good one, he's gonna be a great one. Also, that list is terrible. That is the type of list you come up with off the top of your head with in 20 minutes, and really put no effort into research or the rankings.

That might be the case but it's only spring training. He's ranked higher than Holliday, Fielder and Howard just to name a few that have already proven themselves...ridiculous.

It was right off the top of my head, just thinking of the rising stars that weren't on there and those popped into my head immediately. I hate all of the hype they get too.
