DateQuestionAnswer
2012-01-20 14:00:00Do you see Paul Goldschmidt capable of production similar to Mike Stanton? Any concern with the squatty looking stance that Goldschmidt employees?
(PeterShammons from Chicago)
Paul Goldschmidt is a really nice young first baseman who has exceeded all expectations and sure looks like the real deal. He's also not even in Mike Stanton's zip code. (Kevin Goldstein)
2011-04-18 13:00:00We all know it is early in the season, however, what have you heard so far from scouts regarding Paul Goldschmidt?
(Nevy72 from SI, NY)
I don't think there was ever a question about the raw power. He's a huge, and hugely strong guy. Still not convinced he will hit, but it's a great start worth watching. (Kevin Goldstein)
