“Gamel actually has all the tools to be an above-average defender at 3B, and showed nice improvement by most accounts in 2009. Plus, even when healthy (McGehee played with a knee that’s getting some surgery this offseason), McGehee isn’t a very good defender at 3B. Gamel has a lot more athletic ability & can cover more ground. McGehee’s more the opposite… probably a better fielder (at this point), but can’t get to as many balls as Gamel.

I will freely admit being very much sold on Gamel. I think he can be a special player, where I already think we’ve seen McGehee’s upside. I don’t have anything against McGehee except for what I perceive to be Gamel’s much, much larger upside (including on defense).”

Sounds familiar, I’ve definately read this post before.

Could he just be one of those hitters who doesn’t do anything too special in the minors but becomes a good major league player, like Matt Holliday or Garrett Atkins?
