It comes to this with me for the Francisco/Henry debate.... Whats more likely of these two situations:
Francisco can learn to take an extra two or three walks a month....
or
Henry can surpass his ceiling that is limited by his physical stature (5'9 and 180 pounds)?
I am willing to place my money on Francisco learning to be a little bit more selective than a 23 year old adding some extra size to his frame that is already pretty maxed out.
Guy who might be another Vlad is Soto. Guy hits everything. Excellent excellent contact skills and that is very hard to teach. Improve their eye, improve their patience, but if they don't make solid contact in the strikezone that's hard to teach. Soto hits just everything pitched near him. I'm really high on him, not so much on Francisco.Originally Posted by mth123
As for Henry - if he can become a "smart" Ryan Freel who stays healthy I'll take him every day as my 4th outfielder.
Agree completely.
All my posts are my opinion - just like yours are. If I forget to state it and you're too dense to see the obvious, look here!
