Well, shit. Was posting in foggy reference to a comparison of the two Fangraphs did this summer that compared them based on age and actually lined them up pretty closely.
Disregard said point.
With Starling, the HOPE would be he can be a Mike Cameron type at the high end (.260 hitter who drills 15-20 HR while stealing 25-30 bases and playing elite defense).
Chris Young is also a good offensive comparison to what you can realistically hope he can at this point, though his defensive value would project higher.
Overall, he still has much to prove... But has provided positive movement in that regard for the first time in several years.
