For me there's a big drop-off after No 6. Brad Peacock is in our top 10? Yikes.

My guess is someone at BA was in love with his fastball and strikeout numbers and threw him in based off of that.  The good news is, if you were to extend the list out to 15 or even 20, it would look leaps and bounds better than those that have come before.

Two guys I really like (have seen both play on multiple occasions) that probably did not deserve to make the list this year, but really should be watched are Danny Rosenbaum and Steve Lombardozzi.  Maybe they do not have the best physical tools in the system, but both of these guys are gamers and have incredible baseball IQ.  Lombardozzi has a fantastic approach at the plate and is very smart when playing balls on defense.  Rosenbaum attacks batters, but also manages to fool a lot of hitters.  Both are guys I can not help but root for.
