There's nothing wrong with projecting them in a line up. They're going to come up. They're going to get their share of plate appearances. I want them to succeed and learn to balance adjustments with readjustments.

I have a problem projecting "that a pair of these prospects will turn into All-Star players while at least three more will amass thousands of plate appearances as average regulars."

That is the problem I had with it. Saying Schwarber can hit major league pitching right now. That is tossing the learning curve to the window.

Right now they are focusing on making him a better catcher. That is going to slow him down. To be perfectly honest here I hope they sign Martin just for this reason. I would rather have Schwarber become the every day LF and #3 catcher on this team. His games would drop into the 120 range as a catcher. The issue with that is his approach at the plate would help counter the high % SO's going on.

Still that is 2016 we are talking about at the soonest.
