Why I'm more intrigued by Trayvon than Casper ...
Here are his year-by-year minor league patience and ISO numbers:
Age - pat. - ISO - Level
17 --- 53 -- 166 - rk
18 --- 83 -- 122 - rk-A+
19 --- 61 -- 58 -- A
20 --- 51 -- 109 - A+
21 --- 73 -- 193 - A+ - AA
22 --- 104 - 138 - AA
23 --- 85 -- 263 - AAA
His final two seasons in the minors, his XBH splits were:
23 - 5 - 9
9 -- 6 - 26
Trayvon has a history that is all over the statistical highway. At age 22, looks like he tried to become a prototype leadoff hitter, (the guy has 150 SBs in the minors and 47 in 2009). Then, this year, he's Ryan Howard.
Trayvon has *already* gotten better at multiple levels with his best performance at AAA. He's already proven adaptability. Casper's profile is pretty flat, with his best minor league numbers in AA.
I get the sense that Trayvon is "Halman" level talent that finally "got it".
