1. SoSHially Unacceptable Posted: January 17, 2012 at 11:09 PM (#4039069)I bet Goldstein thinks nobody will notice when he's got 13 items in the 12 items or less line. But I'm counting dammit.
These seem like Star Wars names.
Hamilton has range, in that he can get to balls, but his routes, hands and arm are suspect. I don't think he'll stick at short. Maybe 2b, but I'd love to see him in CF as TFA suggests.
Henry Rodriguez is a sleeper. He's hit everywhere he's played, he can play shortstop without being stretched too much, and he's kind of a stealth prospect, like Heisey was.
Gregorius was born in the Netherlands, but his family is actually from Curacao. It's a baseball playing family, going back several generations. He's fun to watch, but there are a lot of questions as to whether the bat will play. Long-term I like his chances, but he still has a lot to learn.
Soto's limited to 1B/LF at this stage, and blocked at the major league level. He might be the next trade candidate.
-- MWE
This year is make or break for Soto. If his power continues, then he becomes viable as a future LF or Votto stop gap.
He'll be 26 a month from now.
In 2009 he hit .292/.351/.481 between AA and AAA
in 2010 he hit .258/.333/.448 in AAA
in 2011 he hit .260/.340/.467 in AAA
Juan Francisco is year younger and just hit .307/.334/.540 for the same team, and in 2010 Juan hit .286/.325/.565 for the same team, no one thinks Francisco is a prospect...
at one time the thought was Frazier could fake 2b... now he's apparently a 1b/3b... of course the destiny of all 1b/3bs is 1b/dh...
a 26 year old future 1b/dh who is a somewhat above average hitter- in AAA- is not my idea of a prospect
