I predicted David Fletcher would be a MLB player when most thought it would never happen.  I know he is struggling to live up to his contract now  but he will be an asset for the next 5 or 6 years. Adell  will not be a MLB player barring a major intervention.  On the other hand, Brandon Marsh will be a solid MLB player. Great? We will see. Good ? Yes. 

We’ve all made good and bad predictions.

I predicted that you would predict Fletcher would be a big leaguer.

I now predict you should have just rested with your Fletcher prediction.

Who could’ve been had for Adell in the past?

I’m bearish on him, but at this point I think you need to hold him and hope he regains value. I don’t know how much he even has right now.

If you ask beatlesrule he will tell you how mad he is that the Angels didn’t trade him for Yelich, despite no real evidence it was a possibility.

who knows.  Most teams probably saw him for what he is as a work it progress.  I don't think it's 'regain' as much as it was probably that teams knew where he was at more than most on this board.  And by most I mean everyone but @Inside Pitch.   He wasn't traded probably because his value in trade might not have been what we thought.  So we weren't going to get that future #1 for him straight up.

Adell 0-5 with 2k's.  Hitting .191

Im not going to panic/care. Hes still super young.

But holy shit. A year ago he was on everyones (not just ours) "cant miss" list.

Its crazy how much hes stumbled since.

Yeah, I'd calm down. 

I think the expectations were too high, but are now too low.

I'm more skeptical than I was 14 month's ago... but I was skeptical then, too.

The man is young and has barely played AAA.

FWIW, dude is still walking. All hope is not lost for his hitting, but how is he fielding?

That is really the thing I'm worried about.

Adell 3 for 5 with an rbi tonight, he is now hitting .231.

Kelenic is currently batting .167

But he's still transitioning smoothly. I think.
