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!
Not having been a RZ member this time last year and buying everything Tom Brennaman said led me to being wrong in thinking that the Reds had one of the best farm systems in baseball.
He has done that at every level. He struggles when he usually gets called up to a level for a time and then he hits. I'd say at this point it's neither one way or the other. But I have seen enough from him to believe he will get back to his hitting ways eventually. But that's just my opinion.
I was wrong about RZ minor league forum being a place where people would come to get the truth about the minors so they wouldn't have to be uninformed about the future of the Reds. People see what they want and toss facts aside as if they are mere opinions. Because a guy does this or does that statistically speaking he is stamped usually prematurely one way or the other. If there are facts to support that great, but without facts at this level you aren't neccessarily wrong or right. If we all learn one thing about the minors I hope that it's a fluid process and if you have the talent and eventually the skill you are legit, if you don't you aren't. The stats are a really bad way to make this assesment by themselves.

I don't think anyone lets stats alone tell them what they think about a player.

My 2 cents...
There's a rush to judgment on minor leaguers here. Generally, it's to characterize them as failures in one way or another. Easy position to take, because most fail -- either outright, or fail to meet expectations created by dramatic press clippings. If you want to be right a lot, be patient and objective.
I thought Dallas Buck was going to have a big breakout season and be the Reds top pitching prospect by season end. Unfortunately, injuries have kept him off the mound for the majority of the season.
I thought Sam Lecure would do better than he has. I still think there is more there than he has been able to show.
