I didn't see it - did Dunn make the list?

We probably need about 3 more top 100 players before we're competing for the top of the division.  Maybe 4 more.

Stras and Harper will only take us so far.  Maybe Norris/Ramos/Flores will become another in that category.  Maybe Zimmermann.

I didn't watch the whole thing - it was spread over several nights - but I'm almost positive Dunn did not make the list.  Strasburg wasn't on it either, because one of the criteria was that you had to be expected to make a contribution to your team (i.e., be healthy) in 2011.  On the other hand, Chapman was #100.  At least Zimmerman got some well-deserved respect.  (They played a quote - I think it was from Brooks Robinson - saying that Zimmerman was the best third baseman in the game).

I believe the Phillies had at least 4 in the top 40, including some of their pitchers and Howard and Utley.  So that supports your point.
