Homerun Posted January 8, 2009 Share Posted January 8, 2009 Engineer, I thought you top lists for teams had some strengths. Some of the players on this list I know, some I do not. Would you be able to make a brief note of the players on your list with their strengths and what qualifies them to be a "top 20" player? Thanks.

I would be interested to know where these young men are planning on attending college, provided they are seniors and/or have had offers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rockdog Posted January 8, 2009 Share Posted January 8, 2009 Pretty solid list. I almost think you have to include Bowles over McCarthy, but McCarthy is a beast. What about the kid from Manual? Turpin from Anderson County is pretty solid as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Knuckle Posted January 8, 2009 Share Posted January 8, 2009 I think Jeff Embree © from Danville should be on the list. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tomcat84 Posted January 9, 2009 Share Posted January 9, 2009 This is a tough topic. I think it is really hard to determine. Players play in different regions (i.e. different competition levels). Many play out of position because of the need of their high schools. Many times I will here how good a player is in high school and then see them in a travel or AAU situation and they are only average. I have also seen the reverse scenario where a player is very good in an AAU situation but only average in high school. I do concur that that is an excellent list of players noted above but there are several very good players left out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BufordT Posted January 9, 2009 Share Posted January 9, 2009 Drew Freeman of Estill Co. has to be on this list. He has committed to UK and hit over .500 last year and I believe I read on here last year he led the state in HR's also. The kid is a legit 6'3", 220, strong as a bull, and left handed hitter and pitcher. Any list without him isn't worth looking at IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
