Carlos & Frank's Top 25 Under 25 BLB Players

[Carlos]

This is all based on the opinion of one real man and one simulated one.

I will try to do these around three times a year (beginning of the season, break, end of season).

If you do not see your favorite player here, it's very likely I overlooked him. Bring that to my attention and maybe he'll make it next time.

Great read. Thanks Carlos! It's nice to see two Kodiaks on the list.

[liquidcrash]

Are players currently 25 years old really under 25?

Kidding. I like the list. I like seeing Schneider on it. Honorable mention for Bats Villasenor, Turnbow, and Carroll, maybe.

Good stuff, Frank.

[Matt]

Very cool Carlos! Thanks for the work.

[Delandis]

Awesome work, Carlos and Frank.

[Pat]

Frank should help you with the book.

I guess you're right. I meant Top 25 25 and under but that sounds confusing.

Villasenor and Turnbow were in the Top 35. Obviously with Carroll, he's got the potential but he's been slow to start. I can see him getting on this list next season.

Frank should help you with the book.

If Frank can simulate words, it would help tremendously.

Very cool list, Carlos. Very interesting reading, and I like seeing my guys on any list.
