I love Delmon Young, he's an amazing hitter, and very good player, but his attitude can be a pain and will get him in trouble. Adam Miller is another player I really like, he should do well for the Indians when he comes to the majors, expect him there sometime soon too...Evan Longoria who is #16 and is an 3B for the Devil Rays is a great hitter and should do well if he gets up this year, but if the Rays come to term with Igawaga (sp?) his playing time will go down a lot and may hurt the chances of him being pulled up...

Glad to see a Yankee prospect up there in the top 5. Especially a pitcher at that. People complain about our aging staff but between Wang(highly underrated imo) and the new Japenses pitcher Igawa plus Hughes our rotation has the potential to be solid for years assuming they dont get trade/injured. And if Pavano ever regains anything he is still young and can be good.

The Dynasty

I've heard alot about Delmon Young. Some are bad things but mostly good. Also good to see some Tigers in there. I've seen Andrew Miller (19) pitch. He is phenomenal.
