7 XB hits in 40 ABs is great. 17 Ks is not so great. Super SSS. It'd be nice if his contact returned and the power stays up - as unlikely as that is.

In my opinion I think Frazier, Newman and even Kevin Kramer have higher ceilings than Moroff.

I agree, but Moroff can be used now for the Pirates. I prefer him as a back up infielder over Hanson and Gift.



(Hanson batted last night. I forgot he was on the team.)

People forget about Cole Tucker. It's like he totally dropped off of everyone's radar because he was hurt for a year.

Well afte th injury, which was a significant one, he had a lackluster year.



Started th year slow but has been RAKING lately



1.092 OPS in May

Tons of speed apparently too! 25 SB's

I always thought Cole Tucker was a stretch of a pick. He had a very high average in high school and can field, but I thought his power numbers were down for a High School hitter.



His frame was a little small too. He came out of high school 6'2" 170 lbs. I am not sure where he is now, as I hope he bulked up. (Mercer is 6'3" 210 lbs)



He still has time to go before he gets a call up. He is having a great year so far. That is exciting. I hope power develops. He is only 20 years old.

If that power is real, then I don't think anyone should be discounting Moroff. A lot of their MI prospects are raking this year, not much in the OF though, just Luplow.



I was thinking how all of these MI prospects made Josh Harrison expendable, then I just took a look at his stats for 2017.

Harrison's line this year is almost a carbon copy of his 2014 breakout campaign. I had sort of written off the possibility of him regaining that form, but if he does, then they should keep him.
