word on Meckler is that he is at his ceiling. No projectable upside Kind of like Daniel Robertson, right? Wonder what they thought his upside was? I see Meckler as more like Kwan, but with a weaker arm. Not a lot of power either. Hope he works his ass off and proves them wrong, like Stevie is doing. |

Hope he works his ass off and proves them wrong, like Stevie is doing. I think there’s a level of competitiveness that’s similar. But for me, Kwan is one in a million. Great rep of Beaver baseball. |

Daniel Robertson was the Padres' hedge in case, like what happened, they could not sign Jason Kipnis. With no Kipnis to eat up PT, Robertson was the Player of the Year in his first season at Eugene and a National All-Star. He was an All-Star in A+ in 2010 and an All-Star in AAA in 2012. The Padres traded him for nothing in 2014 to the Rangers, who put him into the Show a couple of days later, as the ultimate utility player. Robertson was great at nothing but very good at pretty much everything. He could run and hit and play six positions at a Major League level, which made him very valuable to the right team. |

I think if DRobertson was 5'11 instead of 5'8, his MLB career would have started two or three years earlier.

Hedge, smedge. He was a 33rd-round draft pick, nothing more than a roster-filler. Teams have no expectations at all that a 33rd-round pick will play beyond high-A or AA, much less the majors. Robertson was totally mis-evaluated, a process that started when he was in high school and not recruited by D1 programs. He worked his butt off, hustled and could hit and defend multiple positions. The Padres had no intention of promoting him to MLB, no matter how well he did in the minors. That's why they're the Padres. |
