Which MLB player do you think will have had the best career upon retirement? My vote goes to Delmon Young. I see him as an Albert Belle clone.

I am hoping he's put that stuff behind him. The bat toss at the umpire a few seasons ago was blown out of proportion.

Hard to say at this point... I vote for Felix Hernandez, though.

I can see why people might say him, but there is something about him I don't like. Atleast he should severely cut down his strikeouts this year.

Was thinking about him and Sizemore, but they are both 24, as opposed to under 24.

ETA: I mean, Sizemore is 25 now... Upton and Hanley Ramirez are 24.

Jay Bruce should be mentioned, but I see Upton and Felix having better overall careers.

He crossed my mind, but throwing so many innings from such a young age might hurt him in the long run. We'll see what he's got tonight against the Strangers.

Upton doesn't turn 24 until Aug. I looked it up.

That spring training web gem was legit. I guess that quells the loss of Milledge a bit.

I wish I could see, but it's fricking blacked out because it's the fricking Rangers.

He's one of my favorite players to watch too.

Oops, apparently I suck at math this afternoon.

Well, then he's definitely a top candidate.

We haven't even really seen Cameron Maybin yet. He's a 5 tool guy.
