Elvis andrus is on that list? Lol


Are you saying he isnt one of the best players under 25?
I wouldn't put him in top 35! He is a great defender but the guy doesn't ever scare me at the plate. He's a ground ball most of the time..

I think part of his allure was/ is that he's still just 22 and has put in three big league seasons at SS already. That alone says alot. He steals bases, and he hits for a respectable avg. If he never improves from here, maybe he's not that big a deal, but if he can keep playing SS and grow as a hitter (considering he's just 22) I think he's a pretty big deal.

Again, this is value as a BASEBALL player not necesarily value as a baseball Card.

Chicks (and collectors) dig the long ball, but GM's love 22 year old ShortStops who can hit and defend.

Perhaps, but whose elbow are you more confident will work 2-10 years from now?

An injury is definitely a possibility but to me the list rankings the best players under 25 means whos the best right now doesnt it? If you include previous success and future success then Kershaw and Felix have certainly and obviously achieved a lot more to this point (maybe just by playing longer) but all of the players look like the future is bright. The things you have already got out of the 2 pitchers tops it for me.

If Kershaw keeps tossin Knee buckling deuces he's going to end up like
This guy.

it's not that bad turning into a Zito right ? $100million plus , grow up and play in your home state, and you get to dip into hot actresses. Kershaw is Definately on the right path , he's already got the 1 Cy Young Trophy.

I still LOVE that Zito card. It was quite the desireable item for a while.

As to Kershaw, i've heard on MLB network he's moved more to a tight slurve than the big breaking curve as its a more consistent pitch for him.

Anyone else attest to that?
