8th Prospect Ceiling Poll - Second Base

[Jaypers]

Normally I only do one of these a day, but it's such a boring afternoon here I figured, why not.

As always, feel free to explain your votes.

If its off potential, I don't see anyone catching Triunfel. But, I don't think he ever becomes half of his potential.

Lawrie. Plus Plus Power.

Elaborate - do you say this because of his alleged attitude problem?

Now, that was easy. :lol:

It's not that I don't believe that he can be a good player, I mostly feel that some "Prospecting Experts" have put the bar on him way too high. Coming into his first full season at 17, he was getting rave reviews all over. He showed that he could hang as a 17 year old, but didn't in my opinion sniff the hype that was placed on him. Last year was a solid year, he improved, showed a bit more power, stole some bases...I just don't see the wow factor. Add in attitude problems, an organization that I have a hard time believing in and I am just left skeptical.

A case could be made for lawrie at pretty much any corner position.

Triunfel. I know Lawrie wanted to play 2B but will he stick?

This day is one of the best days of the year. I'm sitting on the couch for 12 hours watching basketball and eating junk. Life is great!!

I think he's more likely to stick there than catcher.

Lawrie has 35+ home runs per year written all over him.

I'm an M's fan, but no on Triunfel. I love Noonan, but no. Never been a big Cardenas guy. Lawrie wins! He has as much or more speed and athleticism than anyone else on this list, but has much more power potential. If he can become merely average at 2B, he has the bat to beomce another Jeff Kent, but with some extra SB's thrown in.

Noonan. Having comparisons drawn to being a "poor man's" Chase Utley is probably a REALLY good thing.
