A guy with a plus-plus tool is always a decent lottery ticket, and a lottery ticket was all a guy like Bailey is going to return.
If this was a reliever with a 100-MPH fastball and no control or breaking ball, would you hate it? Similar type of return.
Comparing Merrell to Gore because he’s fast is just inaccurate. Merrell also can legitimately play 2B and SS, and was a first-round pick 25 months ago. He’s got a chance to be an everyday big league player, andGore never did.
