Sample size sample size sample size. I don't know how Potatoes is way up there either, just another example of how this doesn't compute. Batista is also somehow worse than Richie? Mark Lowe? What, no Yuni? First off, Wlad on this list makes no sense at all. Sample size sample size sample size.

Mark Lowe?

What, no Yuni?

The ranking was based on a set criteria: <blockquote>pBRAR: Position-adusted batting runs above replacement using linear weights dRSAA: Defensive runs saved above average using zone rating pRSAR: Pitching runs saved above replacement TR: Total runs (pBRAR + dRSAA + pRSAR)</blockquote> Sure, there are a lot of undeserving players on the list from all teams, but it was based on those metrics. There wasn't anything worked in for the amount of playing time, lineup impact or the rookie learning curve. It's not like this was a serious post. Chill for a second.

Last year in his call up his first career hit was a double off the Yankees, in his only at bat in the game. Did they think that this would spark a 2008 season in which he would win Rookie of the Year, MVP, and win the democratic nomination? That is absurd that a lowlife Yankee fan would put a prospect on that list, when he had a grand total of 3 at bats under his belt in 2007. Also, how in the hell is Wladimir Balentien on this list?
