that was pretty good
“Kevin Goldstein of Baseball Prospectus – Clearly a guy that is wrong”
I just don’t agree that you have to evaluate a player in a vacuum.
A baseball game is simply a nervous breakdown divided into nine innings.
Yeah, that seemed to be a weird stance
But, he does say that he expects Andrus to get alot better and such. I think it’s clear he just doesn’t think he’s going to be a superstar Hanley-level player.

I just don't see where he's getting the idea that people think Elvis is gonna be a superstar Hanley-level player
There’s a lot of hype surrounding Elvis, yeah, but even the most optimistic folks are only comparing him to Edgar Renteria so far as I’ve seen.
Goldstein seems to have invented the over-hype he’s supposedly fighting against.
Morality you can fake. Fun you either have or you don't.

Didn't BP's similarity scores have Alomar in the top 5?
I don’t think it’s outrageous to suggest he could become a similar player to Alomar…KG seems to think otherwise though.

and wouldnt everyone be very happy about him being renteria?
Scout: He was a first-round pick right? Got a huge bonus?
KG: Oh yeah.
Scout: Well, he spent a lot of it on milkshakes.
