    Why, in the blue hell is Clint Barmes on that list?

    If he doesn't play half his games in Coors, he's a .260 hitter with average D.

    Aye.

    And Beltre only being 26...Damn.

    Look at Todd Helton. He plays in Coors and hits over .300 on the road. Great hitters are great hitters. Look at his minor league stats.

    Yeah, and Clint Barmes is not even remotely close to Todd Helton.

    Is 26 really considered young? To me, that is the beginning of a player's prime.. Bad cut off..

    At 26, most players have only been in the majors 2-3 years probably. It would be different in other sports, but in baseball, 26 seems like a good number.

    The got number 1 right. Did not know Jimmy Rollins is that young (26), thought he was a bit older.

    Number one is a no-brainer, but I'm not sure about number two, I think that I'd take Cabrera over Dunn now.
