This guy is a no doubter here for me. ⤵
I agree with you.
Wow, Hinkie – I thought you were going to vote for Marchan. I happen to agree with you on Luis Garcia here – to me, it’s a no brainer. He’s a plus fielding shortstop with developing plate discipline and power. If he can keep those gains and just hit .250-.270, he could easily become a first division regular.
catch … Marchan is no longer a prospect. If he were, he’d be ranked higher than O’Hoppe for me.
Gosh, I didn’t even realize that. To me, Marchan is as good as his bat develops (if it doesn’t, he’ll have a job forever as an elite defender back-up) – I just have no idea how much development will occur except to say I think it will to some extent for sure.
L.Garcia for me. I think he has a high ceiling, and I look at ceiling and proximity to the Majors. While Vierling is already there, and I like him, I don’t have him high because I am not sure of what his ceiling is. It may still be extra OF. It gets really hard for me now, and I am looking at Y.Garcia, and I also like Miller more than I do Crouse.
My top 3: Abel, Stott and Painter, were no brainers to me. Not necessarily the order but they were top 3. Numbers 4 – 6: O’Hoppe, Rojas and Garcia were in a slot lower but still solidly top 6. After that, it gets hard. I have Crouse, Wilson and the other Garcia as my next 3. The more I look at Wilson, I’m wondering if I’m crazy to have him this high. A lot of analysts like him this high but he hasn’t shown it yet. I may make and adjustment before I make the choice but right now, this is where I have him. I also like Miller around this area. Vierling is a little lower because he might have peaked this year. The Sophomore season the pitchers figure him out and suddenly he’s the 2nd coming of Kingery.
I like Vierling here. He prooved that he is clutch and has the power you need for an outfielder.
It was between Garcia and Wilson for me but I went with Garcia; higher ceiling and floor, probably. More of a question on the bat though.
