I'm really excited about this kid. Not only has he won the NL Rookie of the Year award, the Home Run Derby , and is smashing balls into the true upper deck of CBP, but he has so much more to learn. I think that in the next couple of years, we will be talking about just how many home runs can this kid hit!!! Is he one of the best young hitters you've seen in a while or what? I might add that he is on pace to pass Schmidt as the Phils single season HR record holder. Nice accompishment for his first full year on the team!
Sorry Phils fans need something to be excited about.

He is definately going to be a great player if he stays healthy. He is up there with David Wright, Jose Reyes, Albert Pujols, Johnny Gomes, and Jorge Cantu as one of the great young hitters.

I like Reyes. last year when he faked stealing home on the Phils, and the pitcher balked, I knew he was going to be really good!

I like Reyes and Wright both of them are good solid hitters. Reyes is very fast and steals a lot of bases and Wright drives him in a lot when he gets the chance.

The best part about all these young talents is that it is going to help turn the sport back on the up slope after all the steroids scandal lately. The changing of the guard!

All these players are also exciting players. They make people want to watch them and go to the games. They are replacing some of the talk of baseball from steroids to did you see this guy yesterday.

Yeah, there's one per team it seems. And the Dodgers and Braves have 12 each. All young kids who are going to be taking down records some day.
