Same story at Palacio. I wouldn't be surprised if either of these guys got the nod at 24. But regardless, I don't think they are underdeveloped.

I rarely look at SI on minor league guys anymore. As Rock suggested, its all age and placement. SI becomes a consideration when they are 25 year old minor league bootees. Butler is the first example who comes to mind. Was drafted with 0 hitting. A season and a half later he still had 0 hitting. It was up to 6 by the time he got to AAA. Been adding 3-4 points per season in the majors, and has turned out fine. So ya, both those guys are in great shape. Find something else to worry about.
