8. Manny Ramirez
7. Gary Sheffield
6. Derek Jeter
5. Evan Longoria
4. Alex Rodriguez
3. Ken Griffey Jr.
2. Mark Prior
1. Stephen Strasburg

He said best ever, but im guessing he meant best since he's covered baseball.

Who was the big juicer that came up for Arizona and was hitting balls like 500 feet? Cabrera?

From looking at BA's lists, Jeter and Manny don't belong, Andruw Jones should definitely be there and Chipper could too. Longoria might not belong but Price, Wieters, and Strasburg are legit.

Good call... homeboy hit like .400+ with something like 8 jacks right after his call-up. I thought the Cards had the second-coming of Mickey Mantle. Then someone threw a yacker.

That list is ridiculous for a couple of reasons. The most obvious being Felix Hernandez has to be on there and above any other SP.

Longoria was sort of a late bloomer...most of the other guys were talked about out of HS
