He seems to make a lot of wide-ranging plays to me. Helton is still a great receiver on throws to first, but I don't see him making those plays on hard hit balls anymore.

Also, sorry, but there's no chance Albert Pujols is a better defensive 1B than Helton, Gonzalez or even Derrek Lee. He's improved a lot, but there's no way he's in that tier with the glove.

I didn't think there was another infielder that even came close to him. I can’t believe that Tulo was voted second in the strongest arm catagory.

That does seem to be lacking in the system. I guess it's Stewart for now, with the hope that a guy like Tim Wheeler (the 32nd pick, at Tri-City) develops. ian- good point.

It's a little concerning that there doesn't seem to be a legit big time power bat in the system. Would have liked to see one of our minor leaguers be rated as best power hitter in his league.

I suppose that can be chalked up as a control thing - but given a bit of time, he can be as dominant as anyone in the league. No best sinkerball category either? That would be a fun category to see - I'd take Cookie's sinker over just about anyone's, except maybe Brandom Webb's. I’m surprised that Ubaldo is not on this list with that fast ball of his.

I feel like Street is a little better than Broxton but I'll chalk that up to bias. Thats pretty impressive, especially for Helton, who some predicted to be all but done.
