RedsZone Top 25 Game

[Superdude]

Since the minor league season is coming to a close, I figured we'd better get a top 25 list going. Here's the rules of the Top 25 game...

-Below is the starting Top 25 list. Each person can change the list one time by either adding a player or swapping two players around. (ex. Aronchis: I'll swap Homer Bailey with Chris Dickerson...or...I'll replace Phil Valiquette with Derek Lutz)

note: Using the example above, if you replace Valiquette with Lutz, you don't have to put Lutz at #24. If you're adding a player not on the list, you can place them whereever you want.

1) Homer Bailey
2) Jay Bruce
3) Joey Votto
4) Johnny Cueto
5) Travis Wood
6) Camilo Vasquez
7) Drew Stubbs
8) Sam Lecure
9) Carlos Guevara
10) Tyler Pelland
11) David Shafer
12) Calvin Medlock
13) Paul Janish
14) Sean Watson
15) Rafael Gonzalez
16) Tonys Gutierrez
17) Phil Dumatrait
18) Eddie Valdez
19) Cody Strait
20) Carlos Gonzalez
21)Chris Valaika
22) Chris Dickerson
23) Adam Rosales
24) Phil Valiquette
25) Carlos Bohorquez

Go for it!

Longtime lurker. 1st time poster.

Any rules as to who qualifies? Do guys like Deno, Olmedo or the Lizard qualify even though they have been in the majors?

If so, put the Lizard at number 8 and bump Chris Dickerson off.

[chicoruiz]

I'll bump Chris Dickerson off the list and replace him with Wirfin Obispo.

I'll take Denorfia as a prospect. Ramirez and Olmedo have been up a little too much I think.

I'll bump Chris Dickerson off the list and replace him with Wirfin Obispo.

It sounds like Dickerson has worn out his welcome. Where do you want to put Obispo?

Ok, since my Lizard pick was off base, I'll move Milton Loo to 12 and Janish to 19.
