Ummm, Alan Horne, anyone? What about Jesus Montero, can he get a little love? I dunno about you, but really like Brandon Laird – I think he’s a major sleeper, but 10th? Nah.




#8 Chase Wright and #9 Jeff Marquez? UGH!
Did they pull those names out of thin air?
laird: 45 games, 6 walks? ugh.
Ok time to trade Chase Wright apparently his value is high. Who knew?
Chase and Laird are really, really stretching it.
chase wright ahead of horne?
This guy Brandon Laird looks like a beast. Alan Horne is the biggest shocker not on this list. Chase Wright??? You think we can show this to the Twins and get Santana? haha
Chase Wright? Laird? Brackman having played zero pro ball? No Horne is a joke, and I would have put Jario Heredia & Abe Almonte ahead of Wright & Laird(taking into account age, tools, ceilings, etc)
And Montero no lower than 7
yeah that top ten was definitely a joke…. Humberto Sanchez cannot still be ranked that high after his injury, and brackman doesn’t figure to pitch competitively for another year…
This ranking is pretty bad, 7-9.
