And don’t base your answers on Baseball America’s top prospect rankings. Base it on how they’ve actually performed at a big league level.
Oh yeah, and they’ve also had to play over 70 games. Starting pitchers, at least 100 innings pitched.
So in terms of pitching and hitting, rank the best rookies in the bigs right now.
For me:
Starting PItchers- Jaime Garcia (leads rookies in winning percentage, Ks, tied for win lead)
Position players/ Hitters- Ike Davis (leads rookies in RBIs, second in HR)

Jason Heyward. Brennan Boesch is good too but he’s come back to Earth as well. Heyward is a more complete player.
Pitchers: Definitely Jaime Garcia STL 10-5 2.64 ERA
Hitters: Ike Davis NYM 15 HR 52 RBI
ROY: Ike Davis NYM
just imagine if posey played the whole season.
probably heyward. boesch has been great too, except the little slump he has been in.
Buster Posey
Definitely has to be Jason Heyward. He’s a five-tool player who can do anything for a baseball team
buster posey ike is overated
Jason Heyward
Love ya JHey
buster posey. he does it all.
Jaime Garcia and Brennan Boesch. Buster Posey doesn’t count. He’s only played in 55 games, not 70+.
Jason Heyward is going to be the real deal.
