"Hey guys, you know how bad Jeff Francoeur is?"
'How bad is he, Duncan?'
"Jeff Francoeur is SO bad, his current negative value (-0.5) is almost identical to the value Baseball Prospectus would project from Cheslor Cuthbert if he was playing a full season at the MLB level."
Seriously, Cuthbert is projected as a -0.7 WAR guy over the course of the full 2013 season, if he were in the majors.
This is a 20-year-old guy at High A who is still a project and still has a lot of work to do before he's ready for the majors.
The good news is that Cuthbert is starting to pick it up, and BP thinks he may be starting to put it together. He's putting up solid numbers in the hitter's hell that is Wilmington. If he continues to play well, we may see them move him to NWA later this summer.
Good news.
