Wondering if I'm right in assuming these guys are kind of wastes. I'm concerned these are players that won't reach their potential, but with like 0 experience, I don't know how players grow in this game yet.

Anyone think these guys should just be cut? When do you give up on a player? Any particular SI you guys think is too low for 23/24 to be worthwhile?

Its hard to give generalaties. Pitchers can add a ton of SI in the majors. Defensive oriented position players are skewed toward natural skills. It is very much case by case.

All my personal opinion. Others may think differently.

Mata - keep. Throw all day is a bit over-kill, but low defense skills counters. Probably be near 80 SI by end of this season. Should cap easily.

Marquez - don't keep. Unless your current pitching is weak.

Barajas - don't keep. "Never be a decent hitter" means he better be a defensive super-duper-star. He's not.

Falcón - keep? Depends on the strength of your system. He might be close to 80SI by 25. Control is really low.

Benavidez - keep. SI feels low, but it is distributed well. Is he moving thru the system?

Hu - keep. Very similar to Benavidez. If he is stuck at a minor league level, may reevaluate.

I agree with all of Seca's assessments, especially the fact that there is no magic SI number due both to pitchers tending to gain more from major league experience than hitters very quickly, and because the distribution of skills needs to be factored in.

If you release Marquez, then I will pick him up because my Pitching is old.
