		<description>Great stuff.  Just off the top of my head I'll throw out the following:

Rowand - His numbers will be going down playing in that giant (pun intended) stadium, compared to the friendly CBP.
Burrell - Yes, more HR and RBI, but if you're talking about a 5x5 league his BA is a killer.  Hermida stroked it in the second half last year....look it up....he's headed for .300+ in '08.
Kemp - you could be right here.  It's just a big unknown right now....looks like he could be a great player if given the full ABs.
Francoeur - I pretty much have him and Hermida the same...JH a tad higher due to BA and some SBs</description>

		<description>Troy,

You're correct about Berkman, he does have OF eligibilty. However, I have him on the 1B draft list currently. I plan on creating a list of multi position players shortly.

It's kind of funny. Victorino is high on this list due to his speed + power combo. Hermida is a bit lower because he doesn't have the green light to swipe bases. If Hermida stole a bit more, he would climb this list. As it is right now, I can reasonably qualify why every player above him is ranked higher. I'll give you a few, projectionally (is that a word?) speaking, of course.

Rowand - similar numbers, more SB
Burrell - 15% higher HR &#038; RBI
Kemp - double digit HR's with 20 SB
Griffey Jr. - After re-cheking, I may lower Griffey here due to my projections. At 38 years old, he's probably not going to approach 30 HR, which is why he was rated at #16
Frenchy - 10% more runs, 15% more RBI

I think I'll stop there, but you can see where I'm headed. Thanks for your comment. It made me look over these rankings a bit more and I may adjust on Griffey.</description>

		<description>Wow, I certainly have some differences in opinion here.

First, where's Lance Berkman in this list?  He is OF eligible.

Second, I guess you're looking for a drop off from Jeremy Hermida.  20 is pretty far down the list.

Lastly, being from Philly, that's a pretty high expectation for Mr. Victorino.  I'd certainly like to see it but I'm not sure it's in the cards.</description>

		<description>LOL...

Emmett, I can actually hear the pain in your words. Bay did stink the joint up last year, but I think we can all expect him to return (or at least come close to) to his 2005/06 form.

2007 was an abnormality.</description>

		<description>As someone who lives in Pittsburgh, I immediately took um bridge with Jason Bay being ranked all the way up at #12...I saw him suck first hand last year.  On the other hand, as I looked down the list, I actually had trouble placing someone over him. I'm not really sure which one of these two things is the most saddening.</description>
