They're bound to get a lot wrong. Hard to sY whether 69th in BB is fair or unfair, but the write up is harsh. I agree that he'll most likely be better than they describe. Where they see "passive" I see "determined".Tom Brennanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01032383157195393857noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-592615130369356022.post-9865393462485736012015-05-10T23:22:05.943-04:002015-05-10T23:22:05.943-04:00He hasn't been too bad against lefties so far ...He hasn't been too bad against lefties so far this season, even though it's a small sample size. Even last year in Advance A i'm almost positive he had better numbers vs. lefties. Last year in AA was really the first time since his first full season that he really struggled against lefties. So I really don't think Nimmo is going to be half bad vs. leftiesAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-592615130369356022.post-4328003257679688192015-05-10T22:28:21.918-04:002015-05-10T22:28:21.918-04:00I am hopeful about Nimmo.

He's really struggled against LHP. <br /><br />I also thought the concerns about passiveness at the plate were somewhat legitimate, but also something that could develop with experience & confidence.<br /><br />I keep hoping for Shawn Green, though he won't have Green's power. (People forget how great Green was before the shoulder injuries.)<br /><br />James PrellerAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-592615130369356022.post-16751956518751597312015-05-10T20:22:19.012-04:002015-05-10T20:22:19.012-04:00Zach -

The AA level is where a player makes his bones, and Nimmo (even after a horrendously slow start) is doing just fine there.<br /><br />The only downside continues to be his lack of developing any power. <br /><br />Right now, he's a better hitter than Lagares with far less CF skills... and I'm not sure if the Mets are looking long term for a corner outfielder that can't produce a .425+ slugging percentage.<br /><br />May be better trade baitMack Adehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09730548449011685243noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-592615130369356022.post-63466621328610990942015-05-10T20:05:51.007-04:002015-05-10T20:05:51.007-04:00Can I ask why would they have him ranked 69th out ...Can I ask why would they have him ranked 69th out of all possible prospects if he's also only projected to be a platoon corner outfielder? Is there some disagreement amongst the staff over there?

That seems really strange in my opinion, and also thrown off that they think his hit tool is his 2nd worst, I had it the other way in my mind. Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
