But it's always nice to have 8-9% of the league's top talent in your farm system. It also makes it really hard to figure out who to trade. If the only guy you've got is Clement, then you know where to place your value. But which of the Big Three is really the best? Might it actually be Maurer, high-school teammate of Gerrit Cole, winner of the best pitcher in the Southern League OVER the Big Three...?
Franklin's lefty swing is amazing, IMO. His righty swing is still lifeless. His defense at short is suspect, but at 2nd he looks fabulous. He can't play 2nd without us making a drastic change on the big club. Whaddaya do?
Is Miller really a SS? Can Romero play 2nd while being A-Rod-sized? What happened to Hultzen's vaunted control? Has Paxton righted the ship after his knee issue? What's Walker's timeframe and upside?
Our talent collection is great, but they can't all play here. It's gonna be REALLY interesting to see who goes and who stays - especially with Zunino hitting the afterburners on his expected ascent this year.
Best to stay fluid and temperate. The team remains in flux.
