Three 3Bs taken in the first five picks in the 2005 draft. All came out of college and all are in the Bigs and playing well. Who are you taking?

I ask because of this article.

Nevertheless, there probably aren

I'll choose Gordon just to annoy the Brewer homers.

I was never big on Gordon & was not surprised by his struggles.

Braun is absolutely unreal. And I am a Cubs fan.

Gordon was supposed to be the second best rookie next to Dice-K.

I'll take Braun, Gordon and Zimmerman in that order.

Zimmerman. He's Scott Rolen.

He might be the best defensive 3B you've ever seen. And by might, I mean is.

Even if you have, Zimmerman could be better. He's on par with Rolen, and Rolen is the best 3B I've ever seen by a good margin.

Gordon and Braun are nothing more than average at the corner. While they're both probably better hitters (Braun especially, I think defense is pretty crucial; people underrate it a lot.)

Because we're obviously going to be so annoyed when we know you're trying to annoy us. :roll:
