 A couple of comments. #1 is no surprise. In my opinion though, #'s 16 and 22 should be switched. Sabean had his infamous Liriano trade and from what I see does not value young players well. on the other hand, Josh Byrnes of the D-Backs has put together a very formidable young team that should compete this year.
