What's your opinion on Brown Brett Keith.

I've always liked him. All the tools you can ask for and the inside track to win a starting job on a team that will be getting a TON of attention. He should have little pressure on him for someone in his position, of his caliber. The Phillies offense should bounce back and then the pitching, oh my the pitching. I think the projections on FanGraphs are pretty close to what will happen with him this year.

Think Justin Upton can turn around or is he destined to be a lot like his brother. McCutchen matched him offensively this year and I think they could battle each other on who is the better player over time. Your not high on Cutch are you?

If Justin is healthy, he'll be fine. I really think he and that whole team was drug down by how disappointing their season was. I think he was also pressing, knowing he's the face of the franchise. He needs to go somewhere else, or they need to change things down there if they want him to reach his potential. I like Cutch, but I think his ceiling simply falls short of Justin's. Cutch will steal more bases, but his HR's will likely top out at 25. Cutch may hit for a better AVG, but Justin will probably draw more BB's. They both have Gold Glove potential, just wish Justin was allowed to play CF.

Has to be Montero.

Yes. There is Montero, and then there is everyone else. None of them will be close to him and the buzz created by the New York media.

Yeah they will. If he had a good shot at winning a starting job and wasn't likely to get traded, I'd agree.

One could argue that Dominic Brown would be the most hyped in ST next year. Sure the NY media market can pump up a player, but the national media market will be squarely focused on the Phillies and their ungodly rotation meaning Dominic Brown should get some national attention...not just localized.
