In another thread someone brought up the question of if you had 5 picks of the entire Minor Leagues, who would you take for the future of your baseball team. I thought it might be a fun little topic to start on its on and see who some of you guys would take, in order if you had 10 picks, 5 pitchers and 5 position players, who would they be and in what order?
10 players.
5 pitchers:
1. Homer Bailey (CIN)
2. Phillip Hughes (NYY)
3. Matt Garza (MIN)
4. Adam Miller (CLE)
5. Ubaldo Jimenez (COL)
5 Hitters.
1. Delmon Young (TB)
2. Evan Longoria (TB)
3. Brandon Wood (LAA)
4. Alex Gordon (KC)
5. Jay Bruce (CIN)
Whoops, I'm a moron. I didn't read your post correctly. Let me go back and do what I should have done from the beginning.
Jay Bruce
Evan Longoria
Delmon Young
Brandon Wood
Cameron Maybin
Pitchers
Homer Bailey
Philip Hughes
Edison Volquez
Andrew Sonnanstine
Jason Hirsh
Edited- forgot Volquez who I like a ton.
Alex Gordon
Brandon Wood
Delmon Young
Jay Bruce
Cameron Maybin
Homer Bailey
Phillip Hughes
Yovani Gollardo
Matt Garza
Scott Elbert
Positional players
1. Delmon Young - OF
2. Brandon Wood - SS/2B
3. Justin Upton - OF
4. Jay Bruce - OF
5. Cameron Maybin - OF
Pitchers
1. Homer Bailey
2. Philip Hughes
3. Matt Garza
4. Yovani Gollardo
5. Kyle Drabek
Now I know I took a big leap of faith with Drabek, but after seeing him pitch, he has absolutely disgusting stuff, he has the pedigree and I just like what he brings to the table. He hasnt been overly impressive like some other pitchers drafted this year, but thats ok. I like his upside.
Homer Bailey
Phillip Hughes
Humberto Sanchez
Matt Garza
Scott Elbert
Billy Butler
Alex Gordon
Jay Bruce
Evan Longoria
Troy Tulowitzi
I didn't go for the highest ceiling guys (ie. Upton, Young, Maybin), I chose players that have good ceilings and have proven themselves.
Pitchers:
1) Garza
2) Hughes
3) Bailey
4) Adenhart
5) Elbert
Hitters:
1) Delmon Young
2) Brandon Wood
3) Alex Gordon
4) Justin Upton
5) Stephen Drew
cincyinco, Drew is in the majors currently....but I will let you slide:)
Arms:
1) Bailey
2) Hughes
3) Garza
4) Hirsh
5) Hochevar
Bats:
1) Wood
2) Gordon
3) Longoria
4) Bruce
5) Maybin
No Young b/c he might end up killing an ump one day.
No Butler b/c he might be a DH.
No Upton(s) b/c Justin isn't doing much and BJ has attitude probs and fielding issues. Though I might have a 'tude if I was still in the minors and I was him.
Bruce over Maybin...Cincy pride, baby.
Tabata got some votes, but I have a hard time believing he's that young.
Adenhart has injury questions.
Not that I wouldn't mind having those guys, just giving some color on my decisions.
Well BJ also wouldnt be available, since he is in Tampa Bay right now.
My bad.:cry:Quote:
