Kyle Blanks vs Mat Latos & Madison Bumgarner vs Buster Posey

Jaypers · Jan 27, 2009

There are only two teams remaining whose BA Top 10 Prospect lists we don't yet know the details - SF Giants and SD Padres.

Who will be each team's #1 prospect, according to BA? I decided to pick the two most likely candidates for each.

You can vote twice above - one per team.

Curious to get everyone's thoughts.

Kyle Blanks has a serious shot at being #1?

I'd say so, yes. If you have a differing opinion, please say so.

Does Latos only have one card? Elite?

ThoseBackPages · Jan 27, 2009

i think hes got a long road ahead of him to make the show.

No, he has an auto in 2008 BC.

He's destined to be a DH.

He doesn't weigh that much, but he'd obviously have to lose quite a bit more to make it in the OF.

Still, stranger things have happened.

He can actually move quite well if you watch him....

im fairly sure hes closer to 300 than the "listed" 270

and yes, stranger things have happened (Michael Taylor)

I have... many games in fact. I stand by my belief he'll end up as a DH somewhere.

Even though I think Blanks has the inside track for #1, I wouldn't be shocked if they give it to Kulbacki. They seem to like making some surprising picks this year.

HPC · Jan 27, 2009

Blanks reminds me of Adam Dunn- big guy, lots of power, but wont amount to a good fielder at any position...with the exception of possibly 1b

I think they will give it to Latos however.

Madison should be an easy #1 for SF

Hey, hey, hey, no need to rip on M.Taylor (he's big but not tubby, he actually has a great chance at filling out).
