11. Joel Zumaya • Pitcher • Detroit

He throws over 100 mph, people can’t hit him and he’s only 22. If there is one negative, it’s that after a career as a starter in the minors, he may be stuck in the bullpen because the rotation is full. Will he be a premier closer someday? Will he get another chance to start? If you think that he didn’t get hurt playing Guitar Hero and gets a chance to start, then he is worth taking here or higher. If he stays in the pen, I can’t justify picking him this high.

12. Anibal Sanchez • Pitcher • Florida

He looked good before the no-hitter. Boston may have Beckett, but the Marlins got quite a find here. He throws in the mid-90s, the Ks will come and the walks should go down if his minor-league stats are any indication. He shows incredible poise. If he doesn’t get picked in the top ten, then snag him. The only minor issue might be that he’s only 6 feet tall.

13. Josh Johnson • Pitcher • Florida

At 6-7 240 lbs, he profiles as more of a power pitcher than Sanchez, but Josh doesn’t have the same history. He looks like a good #3 starter and might be better than that as time goes by. He has a very balanced card with lots of IP and very few extra-base hits. He might not have the upside that a Verlander or Hamels has, but has less risk than most other pitchers.

14. B.J. Upton • Third Base • Tampa Bay

Upton makes the list because he did not receive a card last year. He probably is not available since whoever picked him 2 years ago surely did not cut him. His stock has fallen a bit since it looks like after two more seasons, he still is so bad on defense that he may not have a future in the infield. He did not have a great year in AAA or the majors, but still has so much talent and is very young. As an OF prospect though, he may no longer be a top ten pick since there is not an opening for him and it looks like he will go back to AAA again.

15. Scott Olsen • Pitcher • Florida

After a rough beginning, Olsen produced great results in the second half. He ranks third of the Florida rookie pitchers, but that is no criticism. Olsen looks like he has figured out major-league hitters and is racking up the Ks more than Sanchez and Johnson. He is a lefty, so that scares some strat folk away, but he should be around for many years to come.

16. Kenji Johjima • Catcher • Seattle

Kenji adapted quickly to US baseball and became a good everyday player. He is only 30, and has good defensive skills and great stats against RHP. He also displayed some power even with Seattle as his home. If you need a seasoned catcher ready to play on your team, look no further. Russ Martin is younger, but the better all-around card is Johjima’s. If you are rebuilding, take Martin instead.

17. Lastings Milledge • Center Field • New York (NL)

Lastings has all the tools, but no place to play. The Mets called him up last year, but he needs more time in AAA. The signing of Alou sealed his fate. This may be a guy you draft now for 2008. He has speed, hits for average and the power will come, just don’t expect great things next year.

18. Josh Barfield • Second Base • Cleveland

I don’t know why the Padres let him go, but Cleveland will welcome this guy with open arms. He crushed lefties, has speed and some power, and his defense is average but improving. He needs to learn how to take a BB, but here is a full-time 2B for your team for the next decade. Expect above-average years.

19. Chad Billingsley • Pitcher • Los Angeles (NL)

Chad Billingsley: Lots of power pitchers struggle with control when they arrive. Chad has a great pedigree and should have shown enough last season to begin 2007 back in the rotation. Not a great card this year because of the walks, but that should improve as he gains confidence. He might have more upside than some of the Florida guys ahead of him on the list, but he needs to establish his control first.

20. Ian Kinsler • Second Base • Texas

Ian Kinsler: Kinsler isn’t as slick as Barfield, but has a better bat. He looks more like a Jeff Kent kind of guy. He has the 2B job in Texas and a decent card. Take him for now and enjoy good offense and average defense for a long time.
