Oh, damn dude, then you should apply to be a head scout if you are able to judge a guys ability based on 3 games and 2 innings. Those 8 ABs were all you needed to deem the kid 100% in over his head.
Garrett Hampson has shown me that he's not capable of doing anything right and has a .586 OPS and Adam Frazier is worse than Hampson and gets more playing time.
So many younger guys that have never gotten more than a handful of games in the majors.
John Rave, CJ Alexander, Logan Porter, Walter Pennington, Evan Sisk, Brent Rooker.
That's just the ones from recent memory. Sure they might all suck, but they won't suck or cost anymore than the trash that's keeping them down in the minors. Piccolo is the same mother****er Dayton Moore was in this regard.
It's gotta be disheartening to anyone drafted by this franchise in the later rounds or if you get traded here and your not a highly rated guy. You can crush it all through the minors and all you will get is maybe 10 games to show anything and if you don't come out killing it, then by and no more chance again.
