He put the list together based on players born 1/1/1980 or later. He probably started the list a while back and just completed it.

Anyways, it is good to see Babin in that company and that makes all 3 of our last two 1st rounders prior to this year's all on that list. That is pretty good drafting.

Casserley's track record in the first is pretty outstanding; if I had a criticism of him it would be that his excellent talent-identification skills (and his confidence in them) lead him to trade up rather more often than he should, and sometimes at too high a price, arguably resulting in a lack of quality depth on the roster.

He got it over Dunta because the Jets made the playoffs, and the MLB position is not an easy position for a rookie to play either.

Stop trying to discredit the impact Vilma had with the Jets.

By you doing that, it makes you sound more of a homer than those New York writers you claim.

are we going to get into this again? both deserved it but only one can get it and don't put to much into the new york bias, i think it had to do with how vilma was able to improve the jets d, even though it was more of a team improvement. the reason jon isn't on the list is because barnett, who also plays mlb, has had a better career so far. i think sean should take troy's spot just because i don't think he is as good as everyone thinks he is. he had a good year this year, but he was terrible his rookie season. good to see two texans on the list.

yeah that list is thrown off.... i mean come on a 4th rounder becoming a 1,000 yrd rusher in both of his first 2 seasons.

And S Roy Williams of dallas did not even make the hon. mention list.
