Guys that are currently in the majors only for this list, I assume. Also, not sure if 25 was to be included. If not I'd have to adjust, but I don't care that much.

I have a hard time believing a NYY fan could say two orioles are the best under 25.

 

[StealthShot]

Wieters is the best UNDER 25 even though he didn't lite it up. And I know Adam Jones is good becuase we play him so much. That's why the Yankees are going to get him once he's a Free Agent thanks for grooming him though.

lololol He loves Baltimore and said he wants to be a part of this team. You ain't getting him, we learned our lesson when you guys got Mussina.

He will once he has all that money in front of him.

David Wright & Jose Reyes aren't 25 anymore? My how time flies...

Prince Fielder >>>>>> Pablo Sandoval

its called under 25 for a reason.

also i bet sandoval could have the same numbers as fielder when batting behind ryan braun

He used other 25 year olds so that argument is moot. I don't care who is hitting in front of him, he put up crazy good numbers last season. Only thing Sandoval has on him is batting average and that's cancelled out because Prince's OBP is something like 25 points higher.

1. the OP never used 25 year olds. that was someone else who read the thread wrong
2. sandovals number in that brewer lineup > better than fielders, imo (except for the homeruns)

And I wasn't quoting the OP. Check again.

If you really want, we can take a poll as to who people here at VSN want on their team, Pablo Sandoval or Prince Fielder. The poll will heavily side in the favor of Prince. I know you have a lot of love for Pablo being a big Giants fan and all, be Prince is the better player at this point.

i wouldnt doubt it, seeing as how prince is glorified.

i just dont think prince is a better player. at all. i think it goes pujols, howard, gonzo, and then its sandoval and then fielder in the NL in terms of talent

Did you forget that Prince was in the running for MVP last year? The guy was second in the majors with 46 homers and led the entire league in RBI's. I think he was also top 5 in on base % so I really have no idea where Sandoval comes out as better. Sure, his numbers would be a little higher in Milwaukee most likely, but there is no way he's even close to 50 homers and leading the league in RBI's.

im not saying prince is a bad player, i just think sandoval is better. im saying if you put sandoval in the same position hed be in the running for mvp too, hed have a lower homerun number (prob around 32 or so), but hed have all those rbi's and a way higher obp

Prince had Corey Hart hitting behind him most of the season. Braun had much more of an advantage being in the Brewers line-up than Prince did. You have to remember Braun also ranked 6th in RBI's last season, so a lot of Prince's opportunities were actually taken away because Braun drove those runners in first. I'd like to see Sandoval get another year under his belt before I put him even close to Prince. Sandoval would be no where near MVP status being put in the same position as Prince. It's actually pretty pathetic for Sandoval to only have a .387 OBP when he hit .330 last season.

 

[chazmaniandevil]

Sorry, I love Wieters, but there's no reason he belongs on this list. He hasn't done anything in MLB yet. You can't put him there based on potential, when you could put Sandoval there.

Last year, Wieters went .288/.340/.412 with 9 HR, 43 RBI, and an 86:28 K:BB ratio in roughly 100 games. Make it a full season, and we're talking almost 200 K's at the plate, 17ish HR, and 80ish RBI.

Could he be great? Sure...but he has no reason being on here for right now.

i dont think sandoval can be called a catcher at the mlb level
