Lindsey seems to have an advanced eye at the plate with that 400 OBP. Do you know what kind of power potential he has?
Potentially a 40-50 which is in the teens to 20’s. Ha has a pretty quick bat.
Thanks. I know he’s pretty fast and can cover ground in the outfield, but how is his arm? And so I don’t have to keep bugging you guys, do you know where I can find info like this?
His arm is the least effective part of his game, and he was a 3B in high school and they wanted to move him off because of speed and the fact that his arm didn’t make him seem very convincing.
lot of it is free on MLB.com, you can also subscribe to channels like Baseball America, or Baseball prospectus or just do research.
Or just ask us right here. We don’t mind, and we’ve done a lot of the research or have talked to people or have watched ourselves, etc right here.
K thx a lot
Cespedes, De Aza, and of course Sanchez….anyone other everyday players I should keep an eye on?
Anyone potentially skipping SS ball?
Correa and Rasquin
