Price is Right for D-Rays

Okay, I know its cliche and I said I wouldn't but I couldn't resist it. We all know David Price is going to be great. Here's the scouting report on him:

Price was drafted with Tampa Bays 1st round draft pick (first overall). He is a LHP out of Vanderbilt. His fastball consistantly sits between 90 and 92 MPH touching 95 MPH at times. He has three plus pitches and will be put on the fast track to the major leagues. Along with great skills he has a great mentality, on and off the field. Coaches have said that when Price is not available to pitch he voluntarily became the teams bat boy. He projects with a very high ceiling and he shouldn't be a huge problem to sign. He could be in the majors by the end of 2008.

So, where does Price fit in with the current prospects in the majors already? The following list includes only players with NO major league experience.

1. JUSTIN UPTON, of, Diamondbacks
2. YOVANI GALLARDO, rhp, Brewers
3. EVAN LONGORIA, 3b, Devil Rays
4. JAY BRUCE, of, Reds
5. CAMERON MAYBIN, of, Tigers
6. DAVID PRICE, LHP, TB
7. ANDREW McCUTCHEN, of, Pirates
8. REID BRIGNAC, ss, Devil Rays

Keep in mind that by the end of the season a couple of these players will have played in the majors. It is almost a sure thing that Upton and Gallardo will have. Take it with a grain of salt because it is bound to change as things play out this season.
