At 21 years old, Snider, a lefty, has already forced his way to the big leagues. He shot through the farm system pretty quickly, starting with a great 2007 season at Low A, where he hit .313 with 16 homers. He followed up that performance in 2008, blowing through High A, AA, and AAA all in one season before landing in Toronto for a short stint.

At 5'11 and 245 lbs., it's hard to say whether his athletic ability will translate into him playing the field much, or if he'll quickly become a DH. While currently an outfielder, he could definitely find himself auditioning for some first base duty down the road as well.

After making his way to Toronto in 2008, he proved he was ready by hitting .301 with two homers and six doubles in just 80 plate appearances. So far in 2009 he's picked up where he left off. In 12 games so far, he's batting .286 with a .342 OBP and is slugging .686 (an OPS of 1.028).

The Blue Jays are talking about bringing him along slowly versus lefties, but if he keeps producing, he'll force his way into an everyday player.

Fantasy Baseball Spin: The sky is the limit for this kid. Showed no signs of slowing down after making his debut at age 20 in 2008. He still qualifies for 2009 Rookie of the Year and has a very good shot at winning the award. One of the best young hitters in the game.

The 22 year old center fielder was the 10th overall pick in 2005 at age 18. He's very athletic and has a an athlete's body, standing 6'4 and tipping the scales at about 205...he's built like a basketball player.

With Maybin it's always been about tools...he's a true five tool prospect - however, he's still working on translating his god given talent into productive performance. His judgement of the strike zone is below average, and he needs to work on this quite a bit to start realizing his potential at the plate. But as they say - speed doesn't slump - and he's a game changer on the bases and while covering a crazy amount of ground in the outfield.

Right now, he probably projects as a top of the order hitter...but if his power develops, he could be a #3 hitter. In 108 games at the AA level in 2008, he hit 13 homers and swiped 21 bases.

He's got the range to cover center, and the arm to play right field. He's a speed demon who hits 500 foot bombs when he gets into a pitch just right. The sky is the limit for this kid...his tools are pretty comparable to a player along the lines of Ken Griffey, Jr. It remains to be seen whether he'll reach those heights - but it should be fun to see what happens.

Fantasy Baseball Spin: He had 36 plate appearances in the big leagues last season, and put on a nice little show, hitting .500 with 1.105 OPS. He also stole four bases in that brief appearance. 2009 has been a different story, and I'm wondering whether he's really ready for the big time yet. He's batting .190 so far, with three doubles, one homer, and one steal. He's also struck out 23 times in 65 plate appearances (versus only five walks). He needs to figure some things out at the plate, but the sky is the limit. If you have him on your roster, bench him and wait for him to figure it all out.

I don't even really know what else to say about this kid, really. We all know who he is, and we're all waiting for him to burst into the big leagues and just start hitting the crap out of the ball. The best non-pitching prospect in baseball right now. He was Baseball America's 2008 Minor League Player of the Year, which is just another notch in his belt at this point, until he comes up and (presumably) starts winning awards at the next level.

In '08, he split time at High A and AA and played 130 total games. During that stretch, he hit .355 with an OBP of .454, SLG of .600, and OPS of 1.053. Pretty ridiculous. He had 22 doubles and 27 homers, and he walked 82 times as opposed to striking out only 76. So far this year (in AAA), he's played 25 games and has a .291 average, .398 OBP, .407 SLG, and .805 OPS. He's got 7 doubles and only one homer so far....but his eye at that plate has remained strong, as he's notched 16 walks versus only 19 strikeouts.

It's only a matter of time.....

Fantasy Baseball Spin: You likely saw him drafted in every league, and right now people are stashing him on the bench and just waiting patiently. A stud catcher like this is hard to come by, so be jealous of whoever grabbed him in your dynasty leagu

Again - not much else I can say that hasn't been said. We even got a glimpse of him in Tampa last season and he worked his way through the minors all the way to the big leagues. It was thought he would go to AAA for some work this year and be back by June or July....but he's struggling right now. That being said - the kid is a stud and he struggled in AAA last season too, before getting a cup of coffee in the bigs.

He'll be okay, and I still expect him to show up on the mound for Tampa at some point this year. Seems like he's having control issues right now, which could be due to some problems with his delivery being inconsistent - or could be him pressing a little too hard. Whatever the case, this kid has the tools to be a real ace, and long term, the sky's the limit.

Fantasy Baseball Spin: Look for him in '09 at some point...but I'm not sold on him becoming the dominant pitcher most of us are expecting for another year or maybe even two. In a redraft league, you can hold off for now...but in a dynasty, if he's still available for some reason - scoop him up NOW and then go join a more competitve league.
