Interesting that Freeman is ranked above Alonso. Must be the age.Originally Posted by dougdirt
All my posts are my opinion - just like yours are. If I forget to state it and you're too dense to see the obvious, look here!
Yeah, I found that a bit interesting. I have heard concerns that Freeman may not develop the power that would be needed for a typical 1B (25-30 HR power), so that ranking did surprise me. Strong plate discipline from that kid though.
Why no Heisey?
He wasn't a good enough prospect to be listed. This league was full of the best of the best in all of the minor leagues. Some very good guys didn't make the list. Heisey is one of them.
I was more surpirsed that Leake wasn't on the list...he has the pedigree and it's that kind of list. Hmph! He'll show them...
