MLB 25 & Under Dream Lineup

[richig07]

Who you got?

P - Noah Syndergaard

C - Gary Sanchez, NYY
1B - Kris Bryant, CHC (Played enough 1B for me to give him the nod, I'd take Myers if I couldn't have Bryant)
2B - Javier Baez, CHC (Realistically, I'd take Lindor, Boegarts or Seager and bump em over to 2B... Better resumes than Baez, Schoop or Villar. 2B is a bit weak)
SS - Carlos Correa, HOU
3B - Manny Machado, BAL

OF - Mike Trout, LAA
OF - Bryce Harper, WAS
OF - Mookie Betts, BOS

DH:

1. Trout
2. Correa
3. Harper
4. Bryant
5. Machado
6. Betts
7. Aaron Judge - DH
8. Gary Sanchez
9. Baez

P - Syndergaard

No DH:

1. Trout

5. Machado
6. Betts
7. Sanchez
8. Syndergaard
9. Baez

This is pretty tough. A lot of young talent in the game, and there's a multitude of guys I feel terrible for snubbing.

No Syndegaard for me

Most medical experts have predicted his arm would not last

Guys shouldnt be throwing 95mph breaking stuff

Kind of begs who you'd pick then. McCullers is no ironman himself. Ditto with Velasquez and several other of the quality under 25 arms as starters.

Ill assume Keuchel isnt under 25?

I like a guy like that who knows how to truly pitch, without breaking the radar gun

Watching that guy change speeds, hit spots, its a thing of beauty

 

[black francis]

Jose Fernandez has to be on this list

 

[DirtDirtDirt]

Jose Fernandez has to be on this list

In that case, Ill replace Betts with Oscar Taveras

Career MLB Games Played:

Gary Sanchez 68
Aaron Judge 60

I love both of these kids but it's WAY too early to include them on these types of lists.

Do you know how long people said that about Randy Johnson and Chris Sale?

The next catcher option is Wilson Contreras. I'd rather role the dice with Sanchez.

And yeah... possibly Sano over Judge. I just like Judge a lot.

Trea Turner and Addison Russell are two young shortstop who actually played some 2nd. Jose Ramirez has shown he can move to 2nd from 3rd as well. Typical 2nd basemen may be weak, but there are certainly options.

And I would go with Syndergaard as well, but Carlos Martinez has put together a solid run and is still only 25.

No disrespect toward Correa, but Lindor is a Gold Glove winner at SS and the batting stats are too close to not consider that.

Yeah, that's one I definitely knew I was going out on a limb. I probably should go Lindor, but I've always been a big Correa fan. Correa has a bit more power, but Lindor has hit for slightly better average and is better defensively.

 

[BallsOfFurry]

That is an extremely impressive list. There isn't a problem with the talent pipeline.
With football getting negative attention from parents I expect we'll see a move into baseball in the suburbs, so the future looks bright.

 

[packerzrule]

Homer pick but I'll take Arcia at SS
