- Alex Rodriguez—NYY—How did this guy have an MVP season, opt out of his contract, and then end up signing back with his original team for less money???? If you got points for common sense, A-Rod would go undrafted. If you got points for having a backbone, A-Rod would go undrafted. Lucky for him, and his owners, baseball is about statistics. Few people put up the numbers that Mr. Rodriguez does. After a sub par first few seasons in the Bronx, Rodriguez put up one of the more impressive regular seasons in recent memory. He is the consensus number one overall pick for this year, but I am figuring that he will be somewhere between where he started in New York, and his 2007 numbers. Look for .290/47/136 and another solid season in ’08.
- David Wright—NYM—It has taken me a great deal of time to finally come around on the value of David Wright. I’m not sure exactly what I didn’t like about him for the last few years, but it’s now obvious to me that the guy is a stud. Maybe it’s the way his hits, runs, homers, steals, and average continue to rise. You can safely expect a .330/33/115/30 steal season from Wright as the Mets return to the post season.
