Well, they can certainly hit. Alonso doesn't really have a position, though as a hitter, he's the one I'd like to keep the most. He's going to be an incredible hitter as he matures...I think he'll be better than Votto as a hitter. I love Cozart...I think he is what we hoped Janish would grow into. A little less arm is a small price to pay for a guy who can get on base consistently. I see Valaika, Frazier, and Sappelt as role players, but all three are excellent and a solid bench is an integral part of a championship team. Francisco is the one that drives me crazy. I like what I've seen from him defensively so far, but I'm not too thrilled with him at the plate. He seems to feast on bad pitchers, but good pitchers get him out consistently. He swings at some ridiculous stuff...when he connects he really puts a charge into the ball. Reminds me of Wily Mo Pena a bit. All in all, a very good crop for 2011.
I just realized, you forgot Mesoraco!
All around, I think he's the best of the bunch. These guys are going to be fun to watch for years to come.
