Players 26 - 50

Matt Cain has got to be one of the most underrated players in the league. I had no idea that he had a sub 3.00 ERA this past season. He also racked up a good amount of strikeouts, 179 in total. Carlos Gonzalez of the Colorado Rockies is ranked at 46 and I see no reason why he isn't inside the top 25. He is a legitimate 30 - 30 threat that plays great defense. Cargo, as they call him, is one of the few players that is a true five tool player. Jose Reyes, the new shortstop of the Miami Marlins, is ranked 26th. When healthy, he is fully deserving of this ranking, if not a higher one. But health is half the battle.

Players ranked from 11 - 25 come out later today. Then on Tuesday, April 3, ESPN will release their top 10 players in the game today.
