    1. Ethan Wilson should be in the top 30 and Casey Martin should not. I don’t think Martin can hit professional pitching – like at all.

      And Yhoshwar Garcia. Ugh! How much did we pay this guy? It’s crazy. He, in my view, is the poster child for our failed efforts to sign international free agents. For the love of God – stop signing these skinny, speedy, puny little outfielders who have zero chance of growing into strong men who can drive a 93-97 mile an hour major league fastball out of the park. Actually, Johan Rojas fits this description too but he’s such a great athlete he can overcome his build. But he’s the rare exception and not the rule. Whoever it is who is finding these guys needs to be replaced. Asap.

      Merry Christmas y’all!!
