    Potentials Still Off For Some Players

    Nyjer Morgan, Josh Willingham, Jesus Flores, Matt Capps, John Lannan and Chien-Ming Wang are all C or below.

    There is simply no way Willy Tavares and his OPS+ of 68 has a brighter future than those guys.

      In comparison to Willy Taveras, Josh Willingham should EASILY be a B. Nobody on the planet earth will tell you Taveras is a better player.

        They're already aware of it. The threads on this issue are a few pages back however.

          Alright, that's good at least. I would like to know how Vernon Wells somehow ended up with a B for potential after the season he put up last year.

            because potential isnt about the your numbers, its about your skills. So if vernon wells is a B, they must think he has a better chance at staying the majors than nyjer morgan

              Skills translate to numbers.

                ....not to mention that 'potential' in itself is just a 'tad-bit' arbitrary. As a Cub fan I have seen plenty of guys who were supposed to, possibly be the next-big-thing - one to two years later they are out of the game.

                I mean, really, potential is about your potential numbers - and no one knows that.

                    I love how in these threads everyone thinks the guys on their favorite team should all be rated higher.

                        Garrett Jones A potential = too high.
                        Paul Maholm D potential = too low.

                          To me, Both Jason Kubel and Carlos Quentin deserve at least B and Justin Verander should be A. Other seems fine.

                            There is definately some palyers rated too high, for example: Diory Hernandez a no-hit all-defense SS prospect for Atlanta. He should be a C at best, however he is an A.

                              Not necessarily. Think of it this way. First basemen are dime a dozen, so in that aspect, Willingham is average, but Taveras (even though he is pretty horribly) is at a more premiere position, which also takes defense into account more.
