(Was the NL pitching particularly crappy that year or something?) Nevin did probably have a better career than Burrell, though Burrell's still got a few seasons left in him.<BR/><BR/>Victorino's faster than Burrell and fields better, but Burrell gets on base much beter and hits for more power also. This one's pretty close...Victorino's still entering his prime, so we'll see if he gets better as he develops. Hamels would definitely be ahead of Burrell, but he's pretty much the only pitcher.Kevinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01764597535956025803noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6752859088758800232.post-38670707783140554902007-07-09T00:06:00.000-04:002007-07-09T00:06:00.000-04:00You are right.

He may not deserve the heat but other players, including Nevin, GO FULLERTON have had better careers so far.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6752859088758800232.post-61597190832910062682007-07-08T13:27:00.000-04:002007-07-08T13:27:00.000-04:00I'm not really a Phillies fan at all...I just thin...I'm not really a Phillies fan at all...I just think Burrell is really underrated. There are not five position players on the Phillies better than Burrell. Howard, Utley, and Rollins are all better...maybe you could put Aaron Rowand ahead of him b/c he plays center, but that one's close. That's it, though.Kevinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01764597535956025803noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6752859088758800232.post-91195615649033209622007-07-08T13:18:00.000-04:002007-07-08T13:18:00.000-04:00Are you a Phillies fan?

He's not even in the top 5 of his own team, nevertheless the third best # 1 pick of the 90s.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
