Colby Rasmus, CF-L, STL: Rasmus demonstrated in 2007 that he may be the most likely 30-30 rookie in the minor leagues hitting .275 with 29 home runs and 18 stolen bases in AA. With St. Louis trading Jim Edmonds to the Padres, Rasmus will be given a shot at a starting position in Spring Training. His hitting isn’t as developed as Bruce or Longoria’s, but those skills will develop fairly quickly as Rasmus’ K/BB ratio weren’t too bad in 2007 (70/108 in 472 ABs). The new Busch Stadium plays as a pitchers park, so his numbers may not be as good on the surface as some of his peers, but there is great keeper potential in Rasmus who should develop into a player somewhere along the lines of a Grady Sizemore and at this point, his power potential may be even better.
