Not sure what to expect with the lack of scouting report but with that 13 pot his offensive attributes should increase towards 15 each.

So many teams have had multiple 15s and 16s...I've only found a couple of 14s. After getting support from a Legends team that I was on my way there, I feel that unless I can land a couple of these top prospects, my journey will fall well short. #maybenextround

"What would you like to be when you grow up?" 3 positions, none of them upper case, and none of them he's got a build for. I said I like a challenge, but converting this guy from scratch to a more appropriate position... might not be exactly what I was thinking. But, could be worse. He could be another potential 1B/DH. I have too many of those already.

I took him because he went to Baylor (SIC EM BEARS!!) and that was the only thing that made him stand out from the other guy. Had a pot. 14 in there, but he had no comments other than "good potential," which scared me, since I'm seeing all this stuff about potential being variable. So here we are. Second pitcher in this draft

The potential rating itself (IE: your pot 13) is what's variable/fuzzy now. though to be fair, your pot 13 could become a 14 depending on how fuzzy.

BUDude Joined: 05/05/2019 Posts: 54 Inactive	Yeah, I know. I had picked up this team two season ago, but then was traveling so I haven't actually played any of the past season, so my only experience with the fuzziness and through reading other people's mentions of it. I picked this guy up over the other guy because, while he had lower potential, he at least has a positive comment while the other guy just had a "good potential" remark.

For speed, fielding, range and arm he looks to be a pathetic 5, 7, 5, 12. That leaves room for some offense if he can get to the mid-90s.
