That kind of player might not become a superstar, but has a high chance of being a starter for him. And he only has 32 on his roster atm. So he isn't going to stop him from potential FAS during the winter meetings.

He'll be a very nice defensive outfielder (hopefully the defensive sub thing will work better by the time he's ready). If you get lucky and he can steal bases, he'll probably be a starter for several years even if he never makes the all star team.

As of now, he's 4 yrs away from contributing to the team success. As soon as that team is out of debt, and can sign FAs, he can pick more useful players from the Scouting Network. There, your garden variety prospect is a Pot13, with either Very Good to Great hitting, or great defense. This prospect is neither. So, not a Keeper He can be dealt with in matter of weeks. Or, just now. If you need to save money, first thing to do... Well, change Manager Second thing to do, clear the farm from all the prospects who'll never be useful MLeaguers That's .20 each. Trifle sum. But the upside is exactly nil. Updated Friday, December 19 2014 @ 2:12:03 pm PST

Likely it is going to be after two seasons. Now you might be right and he isn't useful, but 200k is a truffle amount to cut. I say leave him on the roster and see if he is a guy that can gain 10 si a year. Given his great range and arm he should make a solid OF, even if his fielding is low.
