I never said Travis Snider would become anything at all. What I took issue with was somebody writing off a 22 year old baseball player without good reason.

Are you just illiterate?

Tell you what - Go ahead and give me a list of guys with his K/BB ratio and his K/9 ratio at 22 years old and show me how many superstars are in there.

Again, it's his K/BB
combined with his K/9.
The dude strikes out too damn much and doesn't BB enough to make up for it. So his AVG is low and his OBP won't be high enough to compensate.
I went over this already.
And again - Matt Holliday struck out about 1/2 as often as Snider.
Are you going to keep ignoring this?
