4 players: How do you rank them 1-4?
Just curious is all. 4 of the best young guns in the Major League's right now. Based on stats, how would you rank them 1-4 if you were a GM in this league and were looking for a building block? Any feedback/opinions welcome.

1 - catcher. That kind of production from behind the plate - perfect. Added bonus as lefty catcher: You can platoon his rest days with a righty backup. Wouldn't straight platoon him unless he has massive splits, but if he needs rest and a lefty comes soon, that's his day off.
2 - better hitting 2b. 3,4 - depends on defense, but i'd rather have the better hitter usually, so #3 LF and #4 the other 2B. Having great hitters in the top and middle of the lineup will get you more runs. |

I never build a team around a catcher or a corner OF. So, to me, the infielders are the best choice.

Fairly easy to rank as batters in isolation but I'd like to see defensive stats, injury history and team record to get a feel of their overall value. Platoon splits would be useful as that and defense may be the tie breaker between Gallo and Botello.
That being said, unless Kraft is Dr. Strangeglove behind the plate his position alone makes him number 1 Subject to further nitpicking, Kraft, Gallo, Botello, Proctor.

Kraft, Gallo, Botello, Proctor.
Hitting catchers are a rare asset, and Kraft looks very durable so you won't have to worry as much that he'll be wrecked in a few years. Then Gallo, though he has got to get off second base with that defense. He's a year younger and he seems to have the best batting eye of the four - much better bb/k ratios, and that's a skill that ages very well. |

Why do you rate Botello so low?
