So, I have been watching more games recently and really like Quentin. I think he is my favorite of the big 3 that have finally made it to the majors.

So the question is, who's your favorite?

I voted for Stephen Drew because his defense is just as entertaining as his offense. Just wait for Chris Young though. He makes the tough plays in the outfield look easy and has a flair for the dramatic at the plate and blistering speed on the base paths.

Me too. It's much more fun to watch guys that came up through the system. 2001 was fun, but if we can win with homegrown prospects, it will be much better. Quentin is my favorite right now.

CQ looks like he's having more fun, but Drew is just so smooth at everything that I like watching him more.

Poor Conor.....

I would vote for Q or Drew in reality but if you would have asked me this question a year ago i would have picked Jackson. Shows what i know (at least so far) about projecting future studs. I'm going to show him some love anyway....







(in a whisper) .....but really its Quentin;)

I'm disappointed in Conor Jackson.....

Although I must say I liked his bunt the other day to move Gonzo over to third that let him score. How many cleanup hitters do that?

Ones that don't drive in a lot of runs. I like Connor, but value Quentin and Drew much higher. I can't wait until Upton and Young are ready

Drew, it doesnt look like he tries to hammer the ball when he swings.

just a nice smooth swing, and the ball just flies off the bat, just as it flies out of his hand when hes feilding

I voted for Connor. I think all three are going to be very good, but I think in Jackson's case the organization has screwed things up with him. From when they called him to the big club last year so he could sit, to the seemingly every other day-day off this year, and then being put in the cleanup spot where he really has no business being.

Plus, I think we're all forgetting tha 1st Base isn't a position he's grown up playing, so his defense will naturally be behind that of Drew and Quentin.

I like CoJack's plate discipline, but I wish he would be a little more agressive at the plate like Q and Drew. He just seems kind of timid in the box. I can live with his errors at first because it's a tough position to play and he is still learning it. But lack of agression and fire is something that sometimes bothers me, especially for a first baseman.

I voted for Drew, but Q is a close second. I think Connor will play better next season.
