It was a rather quiet week for many of the top prospects while two of them were called up to the majors with not so impressive results. Here’s a look at how the top 25 are fairing after this week:

(”+” = ranking increased, “-” = ranking decreased. Stats are all as of this morning.)

Since the Alex Gordon and Andrew McCutchen slump is now reaching almost a month, we will just move on to new information. It seems as if Gordon’s slump has rubbed off on the guy right below him on the list as Delmon Young saw a difficult week as his average drops from the .300’s down to .268 on the season. The top has also been unkind to another prospect.

Despite being called up to the major leagues this past week, Philip Hughes has seen better days after being roughed up a bit in his major league debut this past Thursday against Toronto going 4 1/3 innings, 4 earned runs, 7 hits, 1 walk, and 5 strikeouts as he picked up his first loss. While Hughes may not have had his dream debut it was certainly better than a lot of pitching performances the injury plagued Yankees rotation has seen this season. (Oh and I mentioned another prospect joining the big leagues this week too. Brandon Wood was called up and played his first game this past Thursday as well going 0 for 4. Nothing too exciting to report yet.)

I want to try to avoid repeating myself in this column, but I have to say the players with the biggest weeks were again Billy Butler, Ryan Braun, Justin Upton, and Tim Lincecum. I really don’t have anything else to say about these four other than they are off to incredible seasons.

MINOR DETAILS PLAYER OF THE WEEK

That brings us again to the Player of the Week award. It was a very tough decision between two men. While Billy Butler came very close to making it two weeks in a row, I had to give the edge to Arizona’s Justin Upton to had a very impressive week. This has to feel great for Upton and the Diamondbacks orgainzation after the disappointing first year in pro ball he had last season. So I leave you this week with a look at how Upton did since last Sunday:

Last week was the very first edition of the “Sunday Ranking Roundup” and I received a lot of positive feedback regarding it. So as we continue on to week two, we saw a lot of positive improvements from many of the prospects on my list. While there are no ranking changes this week, here’s a look at how everyone is fairing through today:

(”+” = ranking increased, “-” = ranking decreased. Stats are all as of this morning.)

In only a week, many of the players who were struggling at the start of the season have now started heating up. While Alex Gordon and Andrew McCutchen are still having trouble getting their swings, other players surrounding them in the top half of the list are finally picking up their games.

Cameron Maybin, Brandon Wood, and Justin Upton have made the biggest increases while Billy Butler, Evan Longoria, and Ryan Braun continue to destroy pitchers. Maybin (who many of you know I am very high on) was hitting .231 as of last Sunday has now raised his average to .308 including hitting another homer and stealing four more bases. If Maybin can continue to hit like this, it shouldn’t be too long until he moves up another level in the Tigers organization.

Speaking of moving up in the organization, how much longer can the Royals keep Billy Butler in AAA? He bumped up all of his offensive numbers from a week ago including average, on base, homers, and also drove in another 9 RBI over the past week. Many other teams could defend keeping him in AAA, but considering what the Royals major league roster looks like, keeping Butler in AAA can only last so long. Sure Butler will get more time to work on things in AAA, but as long as they give him an everyday job (most likely at DH due to his defensive liability) he should be able to grow exceptionally. Butler will be a huge star in this league due to his bat similarly to the way Travis Hafner and David Ortiz are. He can hit for average and for power which is a scary combination.

There wasn’t too much change on the pitchers listed in the top 25. Philip Hughes was able to shave his ERA almost in half while Matt Garza continues to see limited action in Rochester only pitching a few innings per start. Mike Pelfrey received another start in New York and struggled a bit raising his ERA up from 3.18 to 5.06. Oh and don’t forget about Tim Lincecum who continues to be lights out in AAA for the Giants. This guy is going to be special.

MINOR DETAILS PLAYER OF THE WEEK

Something new I am adding to the “Sunday Ranking Roundup” is a player of the week award. Even though I didn’t do one last week, I am retro-actively naming Tim Lincecum the week one winner. With that in mind, I leave you today with this week’s player of the week and how he’s done over the past seven days:

Hitter - Ryan Braun - Nashville Sounds (AAA)
Let me know if you can think of anyone else who mashed three homers in a game in week two. Hot corner at Miller Park is ready for him.

Pitcher - Tim Lincecum - Fresno Grizzlies (AAA)
I am considering just copying and pasting his name every week until the Giants call him up. He is going to be automatic every time out. I will either copy and paste this for next week or I will give it up to someone else (call it the Nash Rule, as Steve Nash is going to be robbed of the MVP in 2007 just for the sake of not giving it to him three times in a row).

C: Jarrod Saltalamacchia, ATL
Saltalamacchia is a strong switch hitting catcher with power and solid defensive abilities. It’s not certain whether or not he’ll stay behind the plate due to the explosion of Brian McCann in Atlanta, but regardless he has a big presence in the lineup and has the potential to hit 30 or more homers. Due to this the Braves will find somewhere to put him.

1B: Joey Votto, CIN
Votto is the top powering hitting corner infielder in the entire Reds system. Has good speed especially for a catcher turned first baseman. He has across the board tools but does still struggle a bit in his new position. Should be able to improve with practice in the minors just like he improved his approach at the plate last season.

2B: Blake Dewitt, LAD
Dewitt struggled a bit last season as he began adjusting to his new position while only hitting .251 between A and AA. But that aside, he does have the ability to hit for average and has power to all fields. After a little more seasoning in the minors he should be able to adjust to the new position and not let it affect his offensive prowess.

3B: Ryan Braun, MIL
Braun is a pure hitter who has a lot of power and showed it in AA last year posting .303/.367/.589 with 15 HR and 40 RBI in only 59 games. He is a liability in the field and may end up being moved to the outfield if the Brewers need despite having a hole at third with the often injured Corey Koskie. Braun would be a much better fit in the AL with the DH option.

SS: Elvis Andrus, ATL
Andrus made a pretty good first impression in his first pro season hitting .265 and 23 steals despite being one of the youngest players in all of baseball. His 23 steals were a nice display of his lightening quick speed, but even that can be overshadowed at times by his incredible game changing glove at shortstop. This kid has “future Gold Glove winner” written all over him.

OF: Justin Upton, ARI
Upton had a disappointing first professional year in 2006. While he can do very well, he didn’t do much to impress in A ball last season with .263/.343/.413. He has superior talent both offensively and defensively so his rating here is based solely on that. Upton also won’t be as highly touted in center because of Chris Young most likely holding down that position for many years to come.

OF: Andrew McCutchen, PIT
McCutchen is an exciting player with a stellar glove in centerfield. Despite his great defensive prowess, his impact bat may be his best skill. McCutchen has quick hands and a compact swing which produces a surprising amount of power for someone of his stature. He is a line drive hitter due to his quick bat speed and is able to hit consistently to all fields. Don’t be surprised to see him at the top of everyone’s list of top prospects going into the 2008 season.

OF: Carlos Gonzalez, ARI
Yet another outfielder for the Diamondbacks with power, speed, and a strong arm. Lacks discipline at the plate (104/30 strikeout/walk ratio in high A ball in 2006) that he can hopefully work out. Gonzalez has all the makings of a monster masher. You could end up seeing a .290, 30 HR, 120 RBI, 20 SB line from him in a few years.

DH: Jay Bruce, CIN
Bruce is a five tool player who can impact the game with his power bat, speed, and defense. He needs to work on his plate discipline and tends to struggle against lefties and off speed pitches. In addition he needs to learn to go the other way more often as he has proven to be a dead pull hitter. If he can learn these items the next few years and combine that with his current skills, he will be a monster in the hitter friendly Great American Ballpark.

SP: Homer Bailey, CIN
Bailey has all the pieces to be a number one starter for years to come. He’s tall with a big league frame with superb arm action. He has a 3/4 slot motion that allows him to stay tall along with two plus pitches (fastball at 89-97 mph and curveball 75-80 mph) which when he has working makes him virtually untouchable. Despite how excited the Reds are to have him in their rotation, they don’t want to rush him so he will probably start 2007 in AAA.

SP: Tim Lincecum, SF
Despite a small frame he surprisingly has one of the most exciting and dominating arms in the minors. He has a mind blowing sinking fastball (89-96 mph) and curve (77-80 mph) combo that is even more devastating due to his crazy delivery. There are questions about his durability as a starter due to his unorthodox delivery, but so far there haven’t been any problems.

SP: Yovanni Gallardo, MIL
Gallardo has a quick arm and consistent ¾ delivery, athletic build, and solid mechanics. His pitches are a fastball (86-93 mph), cut fastball (83-87 mph), curveball (72-77 mph), and a change (81-82 mph). Needs to continue to lower walks. The Brewers hope he can make an impact in the future as every other pitching prospect they have had seemingly fizzles out with injuries.

SP: Franklin Morales, COL
Morales is one of the most underrated pitchers in all of minor league baseball with a solid fastball (89-96 mph) and two very solid complimentary pitches that he has made great strides with. While Morales does have the unenviable task of someday pitching his home games at Coors Field, if he can continue to keep the ball down and embrace his 10.5 K/9 he should be a very good pitchers for the Rockies for years to come.

Yet another week has gone by in this young season as we take another step towards starting to figure out what kind of seasons some of baseball’s top prospects are going to have. Here’s a look at how my top 25 are fairing thus far:

(”+” = ranking increased, “-” = ranking decreased. Stats are all as of this morning.)

While the season is still very young, many prospects that have been thrust into the majors are still struggling. Alex Gordon and Troy Tulowitzki continue to find it difficult to get on base while Delmon Young continues to shine and swing a solid bat at the middle of the Devil Rays lineup. I had a chance to see him live last night here in Minnesota (from right behind the visitor dugout) and I must say he has a great swing and its no wonder why he’s having so much success this season. Another top prospect in the majors this season has been Chris Young of Arizona. While Young has already driven in 9 runs, he has been battling a pesky groin injury that is inhibiting his play, in particular his speed. The final prospect to take the field in the majors this season was Mike Pelfrey. While Pelfrey didn’t factor in the decision of his start, he still pitched strong and gave hopes to a Mets rotation that seems to be hanging on by a thread.

In the minors, many of the prospects are off to great starts and will begin to make it difficult for their organizations not to call them up to the big show. Players like Ryan Braun, Tim Lincecum, and Billy Butler are all playing very well right now and barely didn’t make the trip north with their clubs out of spring training. The ball is flying off the bats of Braun (3 homers last night) and Butler with Lincecum pitching virtually unhittable ball (0 ER and 17 SO in 2 starts) for Fresno.

As I mentioned earlier, its still much too early to make proper projections of how these young players will progress this season, but one thing has become certain. There are a handful of players in AAA who are going to start lighting some fires underneath players ahead of them in the majors which end up forcing the hands of some general managers. Look for the first one to be in San Francisco.

11. Florida Marlins - Jeremy Hermida - OF - Current Age: 23
Highest Level Reached: MLB
The Story So Far: Hermida has had an interesting journey to this point. He was very consistent throughout his career in the minors, showing great on base skills and a combination of raw power and speed. The reason he hasn’t truly blossomed yet is that he seems to be a bit snake bitten. He struggled to stay healthy in the minors and was once again nagged by injuries in his rookie year with the Marlins.
From Here On Out: Right now, it looks like more of the same. Hermida is starting the year on the DL after struggling mightily in spring training. Despite the seemingly endless string of injuries, the Marlins are still counting on Hermida to be their RF of the future. In his prime I expect .290, 25 HR, 15 SB from him. In other words, a poor man’s Grady Sizemore.

12. Anaheim Angels - Joe Saunders - LHP - Current Age: 25
Highest Level Reached: MLB
The Story So Far: Baseball America predicted before the 2002 draft that Saunders would be one of the first players to reach the bigs from this draft. Not so much. To their credit, they also projected that Saunders had a low ceiling for a first rounder. Saunders didn’t blow anyone away in the minors from 2002 - 2004 before getting his first taste of the majors in 2005. His first extended stay in the bigs came in 2006, making 13 starts for the Angels. He came away relatively clean while posting a 4.71 ERA and a record of 7-3. In 2007 Saunders started the season in the majors for the first time in his brief career. Through his first two starts he posted a low ERA, but his peripherals are just as mediocre as ever.
From Here On Out: We’ve pretty much seen it. Saunders has #4 starter written all over him. He doesn’t have power stuff, but is fairly polished. You may see the Angels try and move Saunders for a bat if he can overachieve before the All-Star Break. Clubs are always looking for a steady lefty who can win 12 - 14 games while posting a 4.50 ERA.

13. San Diego Padres - Khalil Greene - SS - Current Age: 27
Highest Level Reached: MLB
The Story So Far: Greene has been an interesting case. He was a quick study and reached the majors in his first full season of pro ball. While he has struggled with injuries, he has been very consistent to this point. He brings a lot of energy to the park day in day out and the Padres have fed off of that. In every season Greene has spent more than 100 games in the bigs, he has hit 15 HR (three seasons), driven in 55 - 70 runs and played solid defense at short.
From Here On Out: It doesn’t appear as though there is much room left in Greene’s ceiling. If anything, he has potential to hit for a better average. He is one of the Padres’ leaders and I expect that to continue for a few more years.

14. Toronto Blue Jays - Russ Adams - SS - Current Age: 26
Highest Level Reached: MLB
The Story So Far: Before this draft Baseball America profiled Adams in the David Eckstein / Dustin Pedroia mold as a steady middle infielder with a penchant for getting on base. Adams was just that in the minors but has been unable to duplicate those efforts with the big league club. In 251 games in the bigs Adams has managed just a .249/.314/.376 line. He has no real power or speed, so, he had better recapture his on base form in a hurry.
From Here On Out: Adams is back opening the season in AAA, and through two weeks he is struggling mightily. He is quickly approaching a professional crossroads and is in need of a quick turnaround.

15. New York Mets - Scott Kazmir - LHP - Current Age: 23
Highest Level Reached:MLB
The Story So Far: One has to wonder how Kazmir fell this far. Looking back now, his bonus was more than reasonable, so it couldn’t have been signability concerns. Kaz’s stuff was just as overpowering coming out of high school as it is now. Mets fans undoubtedly have nightmares to this day of the 2004 trade that sent Kazmir to Tampa in exchange for the enigmatic Victor Zambrano. Kazmir threw 25 innings in the minors after that trade, and has not been back down. He is settling in as one of the most exciting young pitchers in the majors and the unquestioned ace of the Devil Rays staff.
From Here On Out: Only time will tell how great Kazmir can be. He was put on accelerated path to the majors, so you can’t expect to see his prime for some time now. We should see him pick up plenty of hardware over the course of his career.

16. Oakland Athletics - Nick Swisher - OF / 1B - Current Age: 26
Highest Level Reached: MLB
The Story So Far: Swisher was on the fast track as he reached Oakland in his second full season of pro ball. What was surprising was that Swisher was underwhelming in AA in the half season he spent there, yet he was promoted to AAA to start the next season. The move seemed to pay off as he smashed 29 homers in AAA and earned a September call up to the big league club.
From Here On Out: Swisher has given us a pretty good idea of what he’s capable of. We’ll probably see him continue on as a sub .270 hitter, strike out a ton and hit for a lot of power. He has a great makeup that will allow him to be one of the leaders in the A’s clubhouse moving forward.

17. Philadelphia Phillies - Cole Hamels - LHP - Current Age: 23
Highest Level Reached: MLB
The Story So Far: There was a lot of pre-draft concerns regarding a freak accident Hamels had in High School in which he broke a bone in his pitching arm. While Hamels hasn’t been the poster boy for good health in his brief career, I think most would agree that the Phillies were wise to select him here. He has top notch stuff and a ton of poise on the mound. When he was healthy in the minors he dominated. He spent his first full season in the majors in 2006, and had stretches where he was just as dominant. In any other year he would have had a shot at a ROY award.
From Here On Out: I, for one, am realy intrigued to see if Hamels can stay healthy this year. If he can put an end to his injury woes, he has a shot to be a top 10 starter. So far, so good in 2007 as he has a 1.38 ERA through his first two starts.

18. Chicago White Sox - Royce Ring - LHP - Current Age: 26
Highest Level Reached: MLB
The Story So Far: Ring hasn’t made much noise yet, but he has been consistent. The White Sox selected Ring with the intention of making him their closer of the future. He has been steady throughout the minors with two organizations. He reached the majors with the Mets twice and was reliable the second time up. He threw 12 innings and posted a 2.13 ERA.
From Here On Out: You have to think it is only a matter of time before Ring is in the majors for good. He is now with the Padres and has looked great in the first couple of weeks of 2007. He will find a role somewhere.

19. Los Angeles Dodgers - James Loney - 1B - Current Age: 22
Highest Level Reached: MLB
The Story So Far: Baseball America voted Loney the best pure hitter in the 2002 draft, and he hasn’t done much to prove them wrong. The only stumbling point for Loney so far was his age 20 season and his first in AA. The Dodgers had him repeat the level at age 21, and he righted the ship. He is the owner of a .366 career OBP in the minors. The one knock on Loney is he has been slow to develop any sort of power, hitting only 35 HR to this point. He reached the majors for the first time in 2006 and held his own.
From Here On Out: Loney is starting 2007 at AAA in order to get regular at bats. He is one injury away from being in the majors for good, though. As soon as a spot opens up, I have a sneaky suspicion that he isn’t going to relinquish it. Long term we are probably looking at Mark Grace without the flashy glove.

20. Minnesota Twins - Denard Span - OF - Current Age: 23
Highest Level Reached: AAA (2007)
The Story So Far: A pure athlete. Had an opportunity to pursue football, but elected to stick with baseball. He is a burner on the basepaths but isn’t very instinctive. He has gotten on base at a great clip, however. Has shown little to no power throughout his minor league career.
From Here On Out:Span is reaching a new level at AAA this year. The Twins are anxious to see how he adjusts, as Torii Hunter is in a contract year. My gut tells me that Hunter is gone and Span will be taking over CF in Minnesota in 2008.

2002 Picks 11-20 Breakdown:
High School: 5
College: 5
Batters: 6
Pitchers: 4
Best Pick: Kazmir
Worst Pick: Saunders

We start to see a higher percentage of potential quality pros come off the board here. Feedback time: who would your pick be for best / worst pick from these 10 selections? Kazmir vs. Hamels and Saunders vs. Adams were tough calls for me.

Tomorrow I will catch you up on which prospects shined in week two.

1.) Delmon Young, OF
Young will spend his first full year in the majors in 2007. He missed a lot of 2006 in AAA Durham (only played in 86 games) due to his suspension for throwing a bat at an umpire, but still put up .316/.341/.474 numbers and .317/.336/.476 in 30 games with the Devil Rays. Young has both the ability to hit for power and average with pretty good defense. The only thing that will stop this youngster from being a star is his bad temper and lack of patience.

2.) Evan Longoria, 3B
Longoria has a little above average power but is great at getting on base. In A ball he posted .327/.402/.618 and .267/.266/.486 in AA ball. The slugger also posted 18 home runs in just a half season after being drafted. Has a solid glove at third base and is a key to the future of the Devil Rays.

3.) Reid Brignac, SS
Brignac would be a lot higher on this list but his less than impressive defense at a defensive position hurts him. This is in part due to the fact that he is a bit on the large side for a middle infielder. He has shown he is a very good hitter in high A ball last season with .326/.382/.557, 21 HRS and 83 RBI in 100 games and has proven to be one of the top offensive shortstops in the minors. If he can get better in the field he will shoot up the list going into 2008.

4.) Jeff Niemann, RHP
Niemann has recovered well from a shoulder injury and demonstrated it with a 2.68 ERA and 9.8 K/9 in half a season of AA ball. He has a tall 6’9” frame which helps with his solid fastball and excellent knuckle curve. Looks to be a great fit behind Kazmir as the number two man in the Rays future rotation.

5.) Elijah Dukes, OF
Dukes’ incredible strength and speed are sometimes overshadowed by his disciplinary problems which have become an all to common problem for many Devil Rays’ prospects. Dukes has all the skills to be a great player but needs to grow up a little and realize what a great opportunity he has before him.

6.) Jacob McGee, LHP
McGee is a very physical lefty who can get his fastball upwards of 95 mph with excellent movement. Also is very good at changing speeds which makes his fastball all the more dominant. McGee will make a very nice number three starter behind Kazmir and Niemann in the coming years which will help make the Rays staff very strong in the AL East.

7.) Wade Davis, RHP
Davis has a great big-league build and has a solid presence on the mound. He has a hard fastball (94 mph) and a newly honed in curveball. Davis does need to work on his delivery and its consistency as he tends to alter it a bit as the game wears on. This mechanics help will also help in his wavering command which can cause him trouble at times.

8.) Jeremy Hellickson, RHP
Hellickson tends to slip down many people’s lists due to his small stature. This doesn’t stop the young righty from possessing excellent arm speed and action which provides his pitches with a sharp motion. Its difficult to pinpoint his career path, but he may be best suited for the bullpen.

9.) Matt Walker, RHP
Walker has a fastball (89-96 mph) with great movement and a powerful overhand curveball (the best in the system) with a sharp break. While he does have these two strong pitches, he still needs to work on his mechanics and approach to the game. He tends to try to overpower hitters too much which leads to him overthrowing the ball and losing his command. More work in the minors should hopefully helps this and help him gain a solid third pitch.

10.) Joel Guzman, 1B/3B/OF
Guzman has the potential to put up solid power numbers when you combine his lethal bat speed and his natural strength. Guzman lacks the ability to make solid and consistent contact which could end up holding him back. Defensively he can play first, third, or the outfield but will most likely end up being parked over at first base due to the extreme depth the Rays have at third and in the outfield.

The Minnesota Twins are a perfect example of how you compete. Every year they bring up another group of guys from their farm system to the big leagues and every year it seems they just replenish it with another solid group of youngsters. You put back what you take. So if the Minnesota Twins can pull last season’s AL MVP Justin Morneau, AL batting champion Joe Mauer, and AL Cy Young winner Johan Santana out of it, why can’t someone else?

There are a few teams right now that are in a similar spot that the Twins were in back in the mid-late 90’s. Struggling to put out a successful team with very little money and a lot of young players. These teams are on the brink of exploding with young superstars that can help turn their franchise’s bleak last few years into something for their fans to get excited about. Of the five teams, one stands out above them all. But while they do have the brightest group, they also have the largest obstacle to over come – their own division.

Since the Tampa Bay Devil Rays were born back in 1998, they have always had the unenviable task of playing in the American League East. Between the New York Yankees and Boston Red Sox crowding the top of the division with their enormous payrolls and now the Toronto Blue Jays asserting themselves as a team to be reckoned with, the Devil Rays never really had a chance even before they took the field for the first time. This is not the way a franchise wants to start out.

But through all of their struggles and last place finishes, they have done a superb job of drafting over the past few years. They already have a major league roster filled with great young talent (both through drafting and acquiring prospects) like Scott Kazmir, Jorge Cantu, Rocco Baldelli, and Carl Crawford. This is a very solid group to use as a base.

Between now and the end of the 2009 season, the Rays will also have injected another batch of players that they look to have as crucial parts of their success. Even as soon as this upcoming season, the Rays will have one of, if not the, best young outfields in all of baseball. With the already successful Crawford and Baldelli, their top prospect Delmon Young has joined the team full time here in 2007. While Young has had his share of attitude problems (as an unfortunate number of Rays prospects have), he is looked at as the team’s top hitting prospect. The right fielder should have an immediate impact for the team this season and put up some impressive numbers.

While Young is by far their top prospect, they have a slew of others just waiting to get up to the big leagues. By the end of the 2008 season, Evan Longoria should be at third, Reid Brignac should fill in shortstop, and Jeff Niemann will give them a very solid number two starter behind Kazmir. This group that is about to join the major league roster in the next couple of seasons is going to be something special. If Tampa wasn’t stuck in the aggressive alpha-male battle that is the AL East, they could definitely be an interesting team to watch. In the mean time, they will just have to settle for making some noise.

I’ll have more on the Tampa Bay Devil Rays this week when I rank their organization’s top 10 prospects.

Hitter - Evan Longoria - Montgomery Biscuits (AA)
Evan has already gotten off to a 5 for 8 start which is good for a .625 clip. He lacks nothing defensively and this Biscuits lineup is going to be a blast to watch with Longoria and top 40 teammate Reid Brignac as the anchors.

Pitcher - Tim Lincecum - Fresno Grizzlies (AAA)
Tiny Tim continues to dazzle as he paves the road to San Francisco. He threw a 5 inning gem in which he gave up only two hits while striking out 8. He did, however, walk three on the day. You have to figure it is going to be increasingly difficult to keep Lincecum in the minors for long.

So far the 2007 season has only seen four of my top 25 prospects in major league action. As you can see from the stats below, none have really had an explosive start to the new campaign.

Delmon Young seems to be having the most success thus far but that is most likely due to the fact that he played in 30 games and had 126 at bats last season in the majors. The other three are a little less experienced, especially Gordon who had no major league experience previously, and are just beginning to learn the league.

No changes to the rankings this week as its much too early. It’s really tough to get a gage on a player until early May and hopefully by then we will have a larger sample of stats to work with and get a better look at how they are developing.
