he doesn't belong on there just yet. sorry.

i would't be surprised at all to see him on that list in a year or two, though

 

 

one season with a WAR above 5 (age 22 season)

the only other two guys on the list with WARs around 5 were age 19 and age 20.

you didn't even read the thing, did you?

Some interesting choices on this list though. Bryce Harper? He had a good season, but better than Giancarlo?

[poptart]

5 WAR at 19 years old? yeah.

the thing's about individual seasons

I edited what I wrote after I realized it was individual seasons.

there's a link to a current Top 25 Under 25 at the top but it's insiders only. i'm sure Stanton's right around 5

Also, where is Pujols when he was 23? 10.1 WAR if I remember correctly. Certainly he should be in over Harper.

i dunnOo! I'd have him top 10

Stanton projects to be incredible, and while when he is playing he's a beast, but injuries have plagued his career thus far, so he hasn't yet put up the kind of season that would place him in the list that this guy has made. Hopefully that will change after this year.

Do think Pujols got snubbed. (gets a mention in runner ups, though)

[poptart]

speculation: Schoenfield thinks Pujols roided

top-10:

Trout,Harper,Heyward,Stanton,Strasberg,Kershaw,Machado,Castro,Bumgarner,Andrus

[poptart]

ew. didn't think it would look like that. figured it woulda been more like Trout,Harper,Strasberg,Kershaw,Stanton...

[Undakai]

Stanton >>>> Heyward

[Wild Card]

You guys are upset about Giancarlo?

 

How about almost ALL of the seasons Miggy put up previous to 25...?

[poptart]

eh. maybe his age 23 season.... but that's when he was getting all fat n s***

I mean... you can kind of take your pick of the litter, he was absolutely dominant.
