Not sure 5 months is enough time to gage the value of a top prospect, but Gurriel puts up very comparable numbers to Varsho on his own with a higher AVG
Gurriel is a bad outfield defender who runs like a duck. Varsho is the opposite of that.
I don't disagree that Varsho is a better defender then Gurriel, but the difference in defense shouldn't have been a top 5 overall prospect.
The difference is the defense and that Varsho is 26 with 4 more years of team control and Gurriel is on the last year of his deal and missed 1/4 of the season last year.
9. Similarly, IF THOU HAST SPENT the entire offseason predicting that thy team will stink, thou shalt not gloat, nor even be happy, shouldst thou turn out to be correct. Realistic analysis is fine, but be a fan first, a smug smarty-pants second.
