But, if that's the entirety of your thinking (how owned a player is) than it doesn't mean much to me.
Honestly, I wouldn't be surprised if Maybin was the most valuable of all of that bunch in fbb for the entire 2013 season. I'm not saying he will be but just that I wouldn't be surprised.
Taveras = Vlad 2.0? Doubt it. Vlad was a 5 tool guy, Taveras is more of a 4 - 4 1/2 tool guy.
Myers = Bruce 2.0? Maybe
Puig? If he's lucky maybe another Soriano.
Bradley? Pagan? Now, THAT'S the kind of guy AD likes.
Lastly, I'd rather have Marte than Brown.
