They are most certainly, as you stated "Top Dogs in the Yard" indeed! As we said - "ON WHO MIGHT" as in this context: "who might be this years Ryan Doumit, or even better - Geovanny Soto" Was to convey the idea that when players have great breakout seasons - we reference them the following year when we hope to discover NEW sleeper names...who we hope follow in the lofty footsteps of their successful predecessors... As we suggested here: When it comes to pitchers – the phrase “Next Edinson Volquez” will be bounced around more than “Career Opportunities” outtakes of Jennifer Connelly on a Target store riding horse. Hope this helps clarify things a bit - and here's hoping that Mr. Rasmus is used in sentences like..."He might be this year's Colby Rasmus" come the 2010 season - cause that will have meant he did pretty darn good in '09 right?

They're top-dogs in the yard. On the other hand, Mike Napoli and Max Ramirez may be two guys to watch in 2009</a> as I analyze over at <a href="http://bfadds.blogspot.com/2009/01/fantasy-baseball-prep-catchers.html" rel="nofollow">the Life of Brian.
