I'm going to use this to support my case against Adam
that Lemon wouldn’t be butchering the SS position if we trade Andrus, move Young, and Vallejo never works out at SS. In your face!
By 2028, Mark Teixeira will be in the HOF.

" His glove will play better at second base"
Which is exactly what I had been hearing.
Nothing here says he would or wouldn’t be a butcher at SS. I personally don’t see him being any better than Young at the position.

Well
its based off Jason’s grades of his tools.

"Lemon is a very solid player, but doesn't possess any plus tools"

But right now
the grades are for a slightly below starter level player while in the future, he projects to be a Major League regular. No plus tools doesn’t mean he isn’t capable of being a good player.

He is going to be a good player. The problem is that his tools suggest a ceiling of a major league regular. He would have to actually reach his offensive ceiling in order to be a starter at the MLB level, IMO. His realistic projection is as a utility player.
Utility Player
That’s pretty much what I expect out of him is a nice utility infielder.
I’m anxious though to see how he does in frisco this season.

Limon is a pansy
but Lemon’s got the eye of the tiger. He’ll reach his ceiling.

The idea that Marcus Lemon has starter potential at the big league level is an absolute embarrassment as a Rangers fan!!!

Good analysis. It somewhat supports what I had been thinking about him, but the speed and defense ratings surprised me some based on everything else I had seen.

excellent
you should you make fan posts about these, i think people forget this section even exists sometimes.
"I'm against picketing, but I don't know how to show it." - Mitch Hedberg
Well...
I didn’t want to over-saturate the fanpost section with my material. I wouldn’t object if others were to post them, but I’m going to refrain from self-promotion until I have something more substantial.
Nice.
Rock and roll in ’10.
