Rendon's shoulder issues make his prospect status really hard to evaluate.
How much of the lost power is because of the shoulder and how much because of the metal bats? How about the increase in Ks? Is a guy who sustains a major injury due to stretching, going to be able to stay healthy over 162 games?
The BBs are still there, the defensive ability is still there, and we've seen him hit for power before this season. I'd take him over Cole 100 times out of 100 and hes still #1 on my board for now (although the injuries have me shaky on that).
Cole is the guy I'm hoping we avoid. Seems very overrated because of the early Strasburg hype.
