Rookies are one of the hardest things to predict. Ryan Braun was drafted behind supposed future phenoms Gordon and Ryan Zimmerman. He couldn’t even jump over Cory Koskie coming out of Spring Training. And once he was called up!!
Here's my list of Top rookies 2008:
1. GEOVANY SOTO, C, Cubs
2. KOSUKE FUKUDOME, OF, Cubs
3. JOBA CHAMBERLAIN, RHP, Yankees
4. JACOBY ELLSBURY, CF, Red Sox
5. HIROKI KURODA, RHP, Los Angeles Dodgers
