Ranking the Third Basemen: Part IV
by Derek CartyMay 26, 2007
OK. Time for the finale of this feature. We’ll now look at the long-term potential of these guys. Keep in mind, I haven’t done extensive research into which types of minor leaguers tend to become good major leaguers, and these rankings are very rough. They represent the order in which I, if in a keeper league, would probably keep them being forced to choose now. Without further ado…
Keeper League Rankings
1. Alex Gordon
1a. Kevin Kouzmanoff
2. Ryan Braun
2a. Edwin Encarnacion
3. Akinori Iwamura
4. Andy LaRoche
5. Mark Reynolds
Alright. I hope you enjoyed this feature today. I’ll be back tomorrow with the Waiver Wire for both leagues and possibly something else.
