Milb Performances - 8/22

[AKA Coastal]

[quote="Incline Investments":36ksq1tk]Is Travis Wood the 3rd best pitching prospect in the minors, after Bumgarner and Strasburg? His numbers are insane.

Ceilingwise no, but his performance is definitely up there.

I would definitely agree that his ceiling is far lower than other guys such as Lyles, Melville, Matzek, lots of HS arms like that. But like you said, he has been dealing every single start.[/quote:36ksq1tk]


The ceiling argument always confuses me. It seems to be some make believe argument someone created to back up their prospect when they aren't producing like they should at the moment. I think I hate the word ceiling more than I do mojo.

Very well, let's call it potential instead.

Ceiling to me is the exact same thing as potential, and that is key in evaluating a prospect.
