All we have is tools, potential tools, and average results.<br /><br />He certainly has "potential to develop" a higher ceiling but as of today his ceiling is determined with the hard facts we have seen so far. <br /><br />He's fast and he has an arm...but his defensive right now is just ok....and scouts do not think he's gonna hit at the higher levels.<br /><br />Taking those into account, I can possibly give him a ceiling any higher than a Taxi Squad MLB guy.<br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-592615130369356022.post-55618933003512435762015-02-24T20:00:04.753-05:002015-02-24T20:00:04.753-05:00Chris, I feel like the "ceiling" your as...Chris, I feel like the "ceiling" your assigning these players are arbitrarily low. You say that Champ Stewart has "the potential to develop into a game breaking talent" and that his arm and speed give him "the projection to turn into a plus defender." But still you list his ceiling as "just another fast guy stuck on a taxi squad."<br /><br />You might think that that's the most likely outcome for Stewart, and you may well be right, but isn't a ceiling supposed to represent the best possible outcome if a guy puts everything g together? With plus-plus speed, and a plus to plus-plus arm, along with an already advanced eye at the plate and significant raw power (not yet game power), isn't Stewart's true ceiling something much higher than "will never have a real big league career"?

I see Cham...Great synopsis on that group, Chris. <br /><br />I see Champ Stuart as Eric Young Jr until he shows me why he is any different. <br /><br />Lupo had his magical 3 week stretch from August 4 to August 25 where he went 21 for 51 with 12 extra base hits and 16 walks, with just (for him, just) 17 Ks. Revelatory, but you probably have his career pegged correctly. If he hits his peak, he may be Travis Taijeron. Ks are the reason.<br /><br />Mazzilli just a year younger than Muno - take away the Mazzilli name, call him something else (Collins?) and I think Muno is better.<br /><br />Robles has to show his great 2014 relief finish and great off season relief pitching can be replicated before we get excited in pitching-flushed Metsville.<br /><br />Always been a Boyd fan - let's see how close to normal defensively and offensively he is after his 2013 thoracic surgery. He showed great promise the last few months last year, and like you say, add the power pop or plateau in AAA.Tom Brennanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01032383157195393857noreply@blogger.com
