rotoworld top 150 prospects

I would trade practically the entire Cubs minor league system for Delmon Young. That dude is gonna be a perennial all star within the next 3 years.

 

I figured that Delmon would be every bit as slow as Dmitri from the first look I got of him, but how wrong was I? He's shown good speed on the basepaths and could be a legit 30-30 guy within a couple years. The Devil Rays have some impressive young talent, BJ Upton, Delmon, Jonny Gomes, Bankston (1B right?), Joey Gathright, Carl Crawford, Scott Kazmir...etc., it could be interesting to watch and see if they manage to screw it all up by not having enough pitching. That said, is BJ Upton destined to be the most physically talented DH ever? I mean really, the guy has been horrendous in the field.

 

Delmon could be a 30-30 his rookie year if TB lets him run. He probably won't run all that much as a middle of the order hitter.

 

Tampa could start 2006 with this lineup:

 

LF-Crawford

CF-Baldelli (don't forget about him)

RF- Young

3b- Huff

1b- Gomes

SS- Lugo

2B- Cantu

C- Hall

DH- Upton

 

That's not too bad. I would probably try to trick somebody into trading a bunch for Crawford, because he's fast.

 

Yeah, Baldelli slipped my mind, he's not exactly old and washed up, Cantu isn't too bad himself, he's saving one of my fantasy teams where i had craig counsell killing me at 2nd base for a while...Huff at 3rd may be risky though, wasn't he originally a 3rd baseman but got moved due to fielding issues? or did i just conjure that up outta nowhere? You almost have to hope they increase payroll dramatically soon
