Barton at #14 since we don’t know if he’ll come back 100% from surgery.

No one is being realistic. Remember, this player was not good enough to be on Cleveland’s 40 player roster. Further, 9 teams passed on him in front of the Cards. He was not the first player drafted from Cleveland. Seldom do Rule 5 players stick. Our pick was a shortstop who has been gone so long we can’t remember his name!

I’d have to go with him at 11 not higher based on Kozma’s rating. I think Kozma should still be higher than Barton, but I do think Barton should be higher than Craig. Due to Barton’s age and the fact that he is coming off an injury I think 11 is the spot for him. He is definitely more talented and displayed more production than Martinez (who I really like).

I’d put him at 8, right between Mortensen and Boggs. If he were a few years younger I think you could look at him as early as 4.

Not in the top 20. Recovering from injury. AAA numbers were not very good in 2007. Why did the Indians leave him exposed??
