Minor League Discussion & Boxes 5-22-14
sneakypower replied to CaliforniaRaisin's topic in Cubs Minor League Talk
both there's enormous bust potential with Javy that's really hard to ignore, and Alcantara's a much, much safer play while still having the upside of a really good player in his own right 150 PAs of barely 50% contact rate is just impossible to fathom; consider that reported-to-be-blind Mike Olt had 150 PA of 73% contact at Iowa last year, and the universe's most reviled hacker Junior Lake was at 73% in his 170 Iowa PA...even Brett Jackson's been steady at 65% for his career in AAA, until this year (60.5% in 85 PA) -

to be totally honest, Baez and Alcantara aren't very far apart, to me -
If having 400 insanely fluky PAs makes you a good starter, then he's been a good starter. But he's probably not going to be anymore. yeah, you said that 2 months ago, if i recall right that was when you were predicting a -1 WAR season and declared Coghlan (-.4 fWAR), Sweeney (-.5 fWAR), Kalish (-.4 fWAR), Darnell McDonald (lol), etc. as clearly better alternatives you're not needed here
