First time failure is tough. He has the talent, we'll see if he has the ability to make adjustments as the league continues to adjust to him. "We'll see if he has the ability to make adjustments." Never thought I'd hear that coming from your mouth, based on your past quotes about him. He's not as much of a can't miss guy now?

Development isn't linear. Your past quotes seemed to be stated as factual, so I was wondering. The book is nowhere near closed on him obviously, but it looks like you've changed your tune. That's ok.

I haven't changed anything. You do realize the entire scouting universe and industry was saying the same thing a year ago, right? Welcome to prognosticating teenagers.

They are definitely not rushing him if he starts in Ft Wayne. That's where he should be starting this season. Personally I would start him in San Antonio. He can handle the jump, the weather is far more favorable and he'll see better arms. That said, I don't think he's in Fort Wayne longer than 60 days. Bump

Bump He experienced failure for the first time and it didn't click. Whatever idiot that said quote above must have been intoxicated. ![;)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/wink.png) Hopefully the bat gets going over the summer. Scouts that have seen him have all said the same thing, he's had some difficulty with spin and has been beaten up in the zone with fastballs against more advanced pitching.

The Padres need him to get going, the farm has struggled more than I'd like to see overall.

Flash in a pan? No. May take years of development? Probably. Lucky for him, he’s only 17… he’ll still be a kid when he grows into that mlb catcher’s gear

He could probably catch defensively in the majors right now, the arm is real and the transfer/pop time is sub-1.9. He's very gifted behind the dish.
