We would like to start this top 10 list with a brief recap of last year’s top 10.  Our top 3 from last year, Burke, Astacio, and Taveras all made contributions to the big club.  We all know what they did so we’ll move on.  We don’t believe there were any surprises in our 4-10.  Amongst our other highlights:  We took a lot of flak from folks for excluding Einertson.  But, we’re sorry to say we were right on him.  His off-field problems caught up with him at the higher level.  We were correct about Barthmaier, Gutierrez, and Sutil.  We missed on Diaz, Maysonet, Jimerson, and Parraz.

This year’s top 10 sports 5 new faces.  There was some shuffling of those repeating our list.  You’ll find after the top 10 a list of lesser known players who we believe are one’s to watch.
