Joey Votto – Best of the Rookie Firstbasemen?

Baseball Prospectus recently unveiled their list of players who have no major league experience, yet lead at their respective positions in projected VORP. Coming in at first base is Reds’ prospect Joey Votto with a 31 VORP. Odds are Votto will see limited time at first base because of the team’s committment to Scott Hatteberg, but it’s nice having a guy like Votto in your back pocket.

Maybe we can trade him for, gulp, a pitcher or something. He had a good season at Double A last year though. .319/.408/.547 is nothing to scoff at although his most comparable player is Carlos Pena, which kind of sends a shiver up your spine.
