I can see Poythress becoming Richie Sexson and would be delighted if he did so. It's just that every young M's hitter the last 5+ years has totally flamed out even though many of them had better resumes and/or tools than Poythress. Jose Lopez: junk. Jeremy Reed: junk. Wlad Balentien: junk. Jeff Clement: junk. Matt Tuiasosopo (so far): junk. Michael Saunders (so far): junk. So when I see a very flawed player in A-ball being compared to some of the greatest hitters of all time it seems like all perspective has been lost.
