Big jumps for both Ford and Urena. Ford has shown them enough, apparently, is a very short time to whet the org's appetite to see him face full season comp before this season ends. It'll be interesting to see how he fares, and whether he might be able to find his way to St. Lucie to open 2018. If so, he's definitely on a fast track. Urena seems like a potentially very solid offensive player, but another one who may be without a position. His error totals (I know, not the best metric) are high at 3B. He can definitely hit, though, and has shown good power and even some surprising stolen base totals this year. Does this put him in the running for a shot at being DW's successor in late '18 or 19? Who the hell knows.
ReplyDeleteThose two you mentioned, Adam, are the players certainly to focus on in that list and your comments are spot on.
