Hosmer and his $$$ demands will chase away Kasten & Lerners. I'm in the Rizzo camp with the philosophy of..a good college player with 3 years of college competition is better than a high school prospect who is still immature and developing... or put another way..I know what I getting with a college player but I not sure of what I getting with a high-schooler.</p> I’ve always been a fan of Smoak.

He doubled to the left field gap right handed, right field gap left handed and then hit a bomb to left right handed (after one hopping the wall down the right field line just foul earlier in the at bat). I love Marrero but you never know what could happen, Id love to have him.</p> <p>Brian: are you considering Pedro Alavrez a 3B?</p> I saw Smoak play last summer with Team USA and it was the most dominating single game display ive ever seen (it was the highlight of his summer tho).

I was tempted to include hime here but that would have made the list insanely top heavy.</p> <p>I may also include Wallace as a 3B and Raben as an OF depending upon how the lists look.</p> Chris - Yes, I’ll have Alvarez listed as the #1 3B.
