"Under 24" means they should be 23 years old or younger. Besides that, I agree with Pedroia over Cano. Cano has been a disappointment this season. He's not hitting for power OR average.

Were does it say that?? And I used 24 for the list last year, so to keep things consistent I used the same age again this year. I should have known better than to cheat and put Braun at 3B...I've hurt so many people with that one act of stupidity. Hef,

If you had said 25, you could have used David Wright who's actually a 3B. But if 24 is your number, you could have said Evan Longoria or Mark Reynolds. Both of whom are actually third basemen. I know your a Brewers fan, but at least you could, you know, play by the rules. And yeah, Robinson Cano sucks. 24 seems arbitrary.

We did one last year for players under 25 <a href="http://mopupduty.com/index.php/mlbs-best-under-25-team/" rel="nofollow">(Mop Up Duty Top under 25 team from mid-season 2007)</a>. We overlapped with Markakis & Fielder. Many of the others players were over 25 and Upton just missed the list. Last season we had Reyes over Rameriz but this season Hanley has improved his defense so drastically the Marlins are finished discussing a position change. Hanley is probably the most improved defensive player in baseball this season. And we all know what he can do with the bat Great list.
