2006
Upton, Longoria, Kershaw, Sandoval,

2007
Price, Heyward, Wieters, Lincecum, Hanson, Jennings

My list defiantly wasnt complete I was thinking of guys off the top of my head

and as far as Butler goes he has done a lot this season on a truly crappy team batted over .300(.301) 21 hrs 93 rbis on a team that doenst score runs the guy is good and as far as bruce goes he should be on the list but is numbers were worse than bulter .223 Ba, 22 hrs and 58 rbis

Travis Snider's chrome was in 2006. Not 2007.

In addition, Mat Gamel had HUGE price spikes twice. He should be under the 2006 section.

marterburn · Nov 8, 2009

Looking unbiased-ly, Kemp should be about #4 in 2005, behind braun, fielder, & verlander. Zim would be 5.

2006 would be Lincecum, Longoria, Upton, Pence, then everyone else "hasn't done anything".

Hallsgator · Nov 8, 2009

Jair Jurrjens in 05 and Tommy Hanson in 07.

carlitoson · Nov 8, 2009

My opinion (no unlicensed cards):

2005
Ryan Braun
Prince Fielder (2002 XRC)
Matt Kemp
Ian Kinsler
Troy Tulowitzki

2006
Elvis Andrus
Jon Lester
Evan Longoria
Pablo Sandoval
Justin Upton

2007
Joba Chamberlain
Tommy Hanson
Tim Lincecum
Diasuke Matsuzaka
Mark Reynolds

2008
Gordon Beckham
Jesus Montero
Buster Posey
Max Scherzer (over Porcello)
Mike Stanton

2009
Luis Exposito
Neftali Feliz
Logan Forsythe
Dan Hudson
Matt Wieters
(wild card - Aroldis Chapman)

Lincy was 2007, also Kershaw is 2006. And i would put him before Upton and Pence.

2008.
1. Rich Porcello
2. Buster Posey
3. Jesus Montero
4. Matt Wieters
5. Mike Stanton/Gordon Beckham

2009. (I don't know what/if harper and strasburg are in products, if so they obviously would go 1-2)
1. Dustin Ackley EEE Auto
2. Donavan Tate AFLAC Auto
3. Sanchez Chrome Auto
4. Zach Wheeler Chrome/AFLAC Auto-a little bias but all giants top prospects, especially pitchers tend to do well ie- lincecum, bumgarner, alderson, sosa, etc
5. wildcard

I agree too. Pretty good list overall. I'm not sure how you formulated your list (value vs. production, or a combo of both). The only change I'd make would be to move out Bruce in 05 and Snider in 06. And replace them with Zimmerman and Adam Jones respectively. I think they've done more so far. Looking back, 05 is seriously stacked. There are TONS of guys who are contributing on a high level.
