Jennings above Stanton = nice! I just wish his prices on eBay reflected this.

Flowers = too high.

Hellickson = too low. Top 5 easy for me.

Hudson = Way too low. He was among the minors' best pitchers this year.

And Francisco deserved to be on this list.

JP, any idea why fans/prospectors have not warmed up to DJ? He seems like the most under-priced "top" prospect in baseball!

People too scared to invest in a player that has shown signs of possibly being injury prone? He sold very high for a very long time, I know I used to pay stupid prices on his stuff.

Well, out of league context, I'm pretty sure not many people would have Jennings above Stanton. I can't see how Flowers is too high, he posted an OPS near 1.000 while making big strides at catcher. Hudson may have put up great numbers, but you know that stats in the minors don't mean much if people don't think you have the stuff to keep it up a similar level of success, similar to the situation with Hellickson.

Two reasons:

1) He has no mainstream autos in 2007. Only base Chrome and base Sterling.
2) Chicks and wannabe prospectors prefer the long ball.

Maybe when he gets to tell BJ to step aside next year, he'll get his due.

Bump.
