I think Jose Altuve is a fair comp for Albies. Just maybe not the Jose Altuve of the last two years. I think 2015 Altuve is a realistic ceiling. In 2015, Altuve hit .313 with a .353 OBP, .459 SLG, 15 HRs and 38 SBs.
It's unrealistic to think Albies could be the Altuve of the last two years. Putting expectations of a .340 BA with nearly 25 HRs is a bit much for any prospect.
Schimpf in 1st game since 3/12 went 0-3 with 2 Ks and a BBs.
Totals for ST ---0-27, 5 BBs, 18 Ks
Mental Midget says that's **** poor. Just for msstate7
Albies is going to be Alomar or Altuve. Sure, why not.
Swanson was going to be Jeter or Larkin.
According to Garr, Acuna is going to be a HOFer like Trout or Aaron.
Pache has the floor of Kevin Pillar.
If you’re going to pile unrealistic expectations on every single prospect, you may as well be consistent I guess.
Lane Adams stays hot with a homer today, that's hits in 4 of his last 5 (including one game where he only PH and didn't get a hit).
You called me a mental midget for making a less than positive comment about Schrimpf. You then expounded on "maybe" he'll turn it around and his stats while playing for the Rays bare that out.
Every one is entitled an opinion. Mine says Schimpf sucks and why is he taking ABs from Ruiz, Camargo and more importantly Riley.
Albies could become what Altuve is but it would take development that is out of the ordinary. Some kind of jump in production that can't be expected or even predicted. It would be an abnormal development.
To be honest, it took abnormal development for Altuve to reach what he is. He was good when he came up but it took an extraordinary jump for him to become the player he is.
If people are going to include the chance for abnormal development curves in projecting players' ceilings then any pitching prospect has top of the rotation ceiling and every hitter is potentially the next Chipper.
If everything in Albies' development goes well and he doesn't hit any road blocks, he's an early career Altuve or maybe a Rafael Furcal. But it would take some unpredictable jump in production from him to reach what Altuve has become.
And last five minutes I’ve commented on Fried ,schrimp
