All Star Under 25 Roster?

13
Vote

by user Dukeboy999

Ok, I want to play a little game, similar to the original roster challenge. It seems like people always talk about so and so as one of the top young players in the game. But who really are the top young players? Name 8 position players, one bench player, and 3 pitchers. All must be under 25 years of age. Anybody have thoughts on throwing in a DH?

Good idea Dukie ---

C -- Joe Mauer -- the kid could be one of the best ever
1B -- Prince Fielder -- better than his daddy
2B -- Robinson Cano -- solid, underappreciated player
SS -- Jose Reyes -- already a stud at 23
3B -- David Wright -- Mets are set for years
OF -- Grady Sizemore -- one of the best all-around players in MLB
OF -- Carl Crawford -- see Sizemore
OF -- Miguel Cabrera -- dominating hitter
SP -- Jeremy Bonderman -- will be a workhorse for years
SP -- Francisco Liriano -- shows signs of complete dominance

SP -- Dontrelle Willis -- innings-eater, sometimes brilliant

As I say a little farther down, Morneau doesn't qualify because he's 25. The article wanted under 25 players.

How old is Carlos? Otherwise almost the exact same as what I would put. Good stuff.

Zambrano and Morneau are exactly 25, so they don't count...

Your original was bad just for the fact you left out Morneau.

Add Howie Kendrick to that and you got yourself a list.

What has Kendrick proven so far? Mostly that hes very streaky.

Dukie --- your article says "All Star Under 25 Roster" -- Morneau is 25, and therefore not "under" 25. That's the reason for not including him. Same with Zambrano.

I read another post somewhere on this site earlier talking about "do-overs." So with respect to the author I'm calling a do-over on this article, and I will have the publishing date April 10,2006. This is a week after the season started and the day before Mark Teixeira's 26th birthday. Morneau is a nice player, and being better than Cecil Fielder isn't saying much, but "Tex" is well on his way to a Cooperstown type career. Mark is a top 5-10 player in the game and Morneau is barely top five on his own team. 2006 wasn't a great year for hitters and the rules says that the MVP has to be given to someone, so what the heck.

See Kids this is why we don't do drugs. In case you missed it Morneau won the AL MVP this year. Tex is the one who isn't top five on his own team.

2003 was a solid rookie campaign for Tex. 2004 was All-Star material. 2005 was a Hall-of-Fame caliber season for Tex. 2006 was an MVP type season. Not a bad start for someone who is only 26.

Morneau had a better 2006 season with the bat. Teixeira has the better/ longer track record and better glove. They are both tremendous players.

I say it should be 25 and under, not just under 25

You could say it should be 30 and under or whatever, but the title said under 25, so that's what I followed.
