What Young Major Leaguer Has The Most Untapped Upside.....

sheetskout · Feb 22, 2009

I was just thinking about this while watching the Oscars.....

My nominees:

Delmon Young
Alex Gordon
Scott Kazmir
Justin Upton
Rickie Weeks

.....would love to hear some more and reasons. Thanks.

Kazmir is a certifiable ace already, so I'd keep him off the list. Upton showed strides. I'd give my vote to Weeks. Of course it seems like he'll never take a walk and refuses to utilize his speed better. Stubbornness may very well keep him from achieving anything

Just to be clear....this is just who I thought of. Please add your players/pitchers that you think of too....

Thanks.

chris young of *
richie weeks
delmon young
billy butler
melky cabrera

* he has been decent to good but i think he has the skills and potential to be an all star for a better part of the next 10-13yrs.

Ubaldo Jimenez is filthy and I think will keep building on the end of last year.

I really hope Morales can come back for the Rockies, especially with losing Francis. He is a monster when he's on.

I was just gonna say, Ubaldo and Elijah..

D.Young hands down. He's got the skills and potential to be one of the best young OF's in the game, but he's too stubborn to listen to management that he'll keep making the same mistakes and hinder his own growth.

I would add Adam Jones and Johnny Cueto to the short-list.

I agree, Young is a bit of a puzzle. I think a ton of fans are ready to write Young off. This is really evident in Fantasy Baseball. I think people forget that he's still SUPER YOUNG and wont hit his prime for another 5-6 years. The expectations were so high with young that if basically any other player his age put up the numbers he's had over the last two years, they would be more highly-touted than Young is now.

Think if Denard Span had Delmon Young's rookie season.....
