Delmon Young's MILB line: .317/.363/.517, 97 BB, 284 K, 1413 AB
Jeff Francouer's MILB line: .285/.332/.480, 89 BB, 264 K, 1429 AB
Travis Snider's MILB line: .302/.376/.530, 170 BB, 401 K, 1412 AB
Snider may not have had a good K/BB in the minors, but let's not pretend here that he wasn't considerably better than those two. He's also a completely different kind of hitter than those two. If you're going to make actual comparisons, make viable ones.

(BTW - Ryan Braun, at 23 years old, hit 34 HRs and put up an OPS above 1.000; yeah, I'd lay off asking what Braun could've done at 22. He'd have done far better than Travis Snider)

That's nice, but he was still in college and the minors was Snider was actual hitting (and performing quite well, I should add) in the majors. While Snider may never become what Braun is offensively, it's far, far too early to write him off. And of course, Snider can actually play defense.
