With only has 209 MLB at bats it's hard to classify Drew anything but a sleeper
|
10.
David Eckstein, St. Louis
Cardinals
He
doesn't strike out at all, and consistently posts pretty good OBA's.Has the ability to steal some bases, and hit
for a pretty good average.The fact that
he plays everyday is a very big factor with the lack of depth here. He doesn't,
and never will hit a lot of HRs, or even a good amount.He doesn't steal enough bases to justify his
lack of power, and his SLA is among the lowest
on this list.

11. Stephen Drew, Arizona Diamondbacks
All
the talent in the world, if this were a purely tools list, he would be in the
Top 5, but he only has 209 AB to his credit, so he stays right here for
now.His small sample size looked pretty
nice, but it was just that.Look for a
pretty nice season and a Top 5 finish here next season.Maybe even Top 3. It looks as if he strikes
out an abnormal amount of times, but with the lack of depth here, does anybody
really care?As long as his body is a
little sturdier than his big brothers, he should be fine.

12. Omar Vizquel, San Francisco
Giants
He
still can steal a good amount of bases in his old age, and although his power
never existed, his BB/K rates are still pretty high, and last year's .295
average was his best since 1999. He has no power; he's now 40 years old and
will continue to sport sub-.400 SLA
totals.He just keeps plugging away
though, and until we see a sharp decline, he's still got a little left in the
tank.
