I would flip Pederson and Travis personally but they are both good.

there are two rookies who would be #1 and #2 but both have fewer than 40 ABs
1. Alex Guerrero - 3B/OF Dodgers .364/.389/.879 1.286 OPS 245 wRC+
2. Jake Lamb - 3B DBacks .414/.514/.690 1.204 OPS 229 wRC+

pederson seems to be better in the field but they are a wash. two early favorites for rookie of the year in the AL and NL

I agree. My only slight knock on pederson comparatively is higher k ratio. But like you said overall its a wash and both are very good.

his strikeout rate is awful, but it gets put on the back burner just because he walks at a crazy rate as well. thats why he has been able to keep his OBP up. he will need to quit striking out eventually though cause while he has always been good at drawing walks, i dont think hell always have a walk rate at 20%

5 Quality guys that almost any team would love to have in their starting lineup.
That said... this list is not legit without Delino DeShields Jr.

How many HRs does Bryant have so far? 5? 10?

He better start hitting them out soon if he wants to reach those 35 HR projections that Cubtards were throwing around.

joc just crushed a lead off homer
Posted on 5/4/15 at 6:22 pm to mattz1122
He has 80 raw power. I never thought he would touch 35 bombs, but he is the best power prospect in years. You can't deny that. He raked at all levels so far, and he is so advanced already, it is insane.
