In the NL I'll go LaRoche, but if he gets screwed out of PT, Votto. And if Votto gets screwed out of PT Soto.

AL, Clay or Joba, with slight edge to Clay for some reason.

-David Price (Rays)
-Josh Anderson (Braves)
-Scott Elbert (Dodgers)

What are the odds on these guys, like negative?

Probably but you never know. David Price will win rookie of the year either next year or in 2010. Elbert and Anderson don't have a shot.

Damn ZiPS lover. Are either of these guys even going to have a shot to play anything other than 5th outfielder?

I could see Ruggiano getting time when Floyd and Baldelli go down with season-ending injuries in April and May.

That's why it's called a darkhorse, man.

Is Justin Upton still considered a rookie, because he has had a great start.

Both haven't done anything this year and with the way the Cardinals are playing, I doubt Rasmus gets any time in the Majors this year.
