Hmmm…I thought Diaz was an all-glove, no hit shortstop whose ceiling was as a utility infielder, while Strickland was a decent prospect who could be a decent middle reliever or backend starter down the road.

Guess I’ll politely disagree with you, but good article nonetheless. :)

Hey Mark–nice article.

I was thinking today about the Mets, and how David Wright has only 5 home runs. 5. yes, 5 Home Runs. It is almost August. That is pitiful. Now, why is this? Does his ballpark reallllyyy??? have this much effect on his home run totals. Is he hitting most of his fly balls to around average length as years past? Has he lossed some of his power??? I feel like he should be at least in double digits by now, even 10 would be alright, but 5 Home Runs from DAVID WRIGHT??? What is up with him?? I mean he could be considered a 40hr threat in a season, at least 25-20, and right now he is on pace for less than 10!!

The LaRoche Loot is underwhelming but then again so is LaRoche.

I’m curious why you assume Garrett Jones is playing over his head? Obviously the .507 ISO will come down, but he’s been raking at AAA for 2.5 years, significantly and steadily lowering his once-huge K% the whole time. Haven’t we seen too many players shed the Quad-A label recently to automatically discount him? I don’t see much in his peripherals over the last couple years, majors and minors, that would suggest he can’t stick.

What would you say Pearce’s power cieling is over a full season?
