I also believe that Tommy Pham’s a major leaguer if he could stop breaking bones. Lastly the club seems to be trying to address the situation drafting the three young speedsters this year. It’ll take a year or two to see which if any of them shake out as real prospects but I think we’re way better off than a year ago.

1) Taveras
2) Pham
3) Tilson

I’d probably then have Anthony Garcia, Chambers and Luna next in line.

Sure it’s been an up ‘n down career—and now marred by injury, too—but the 23-year-old’s line in more than 300 AA plate appearances is .314/.398/.527, with a passable 36/68 BB/K.

The defense looks pretty good, too, in centerfield…especially those 44 assists versus just 13 errors, in roughly 400 games.

Get healthy, Tommy!

I’d probably give that to Pham or Chambers.
