Try to guess who will have the best career in the majors.
Not whose the best right now, but who will sustain it over 10-15 years....

How about an "other" vote.
I'd take Grady Sizemore, Miguel Cabrera, Jose Reyes, maybe a few other I'm not thinking of.

I was trying to think of guys who had 1 year of experience in the ML or less. They are more of question marks than the guys you listed, and therefore make for more interesting consideration. |

I think of the ones listed, Ryan Zimmerman is set up the best for long-term success. Alex Gordon was tough not to choose, but I'm not too familiar with his defensive skill set, and in one or two years, Zimm will be an elite defender at 3B.
That's not to say that Zimm has the highest ceiling. But a ceiling is just that, the absolute top of a player's capability to perform. I think Zimm has the best chance to play at the highest level for the longest period of time.

Alex Gordon may not have the same defensive skills as Ryan Zimmerman, but he does have more power, can steal bases and will probably have a good chance of winning a batting title some day while Zimm will be near .290-.300 every year with less power. Zimmerman is the best defensive 3B in the league next to Rolen, and he may be superior than Gordon in that department, but offensively, I think Gordon will surpass Zimmerman in most, if not all categories. I do know Gordon is not a defensive liabilty, he's above average.

you only have so many options...there were a lot of guys to consider.
Another interesting thread...
Who thinks Dan Uggla is for real?

Uggla is not that young. He is kind of a late bloomer, he's like 27 or 28.
