| 2011-12-14 13:00:00 | Expand on your unhealthy love for Christian Bethancourt.
I feel the same. (Mark A. from BPN) | I did in today's article on BP: http://www.baseballprospectus.com/article.php?articleid=15670 (Jason Parks) |
| 2011-10-04 13:00:00 | Howdy, Professor! Who have you seen in the AFL that has caught your eye? Also, how's the knee healing up? (GBSimons from Boise, ID) | I was only able to catch a few AFL workouts, but Christian Bethancourt was crushing in the cage. In drills, he was showing off his 80 arm, but it was his swing that really impressed me. He's very easy and fluid, using his hands very well. He was sending ropes to all fields, showing plus-plus power potential. If he can bring that to game action, he could become something very special. He has a chance to be the complete package. Long way to go, though. (Jason Parks) |
| 2011-06-27 14:00:00 | How encouraging is Christian Bethancourt's offensive progress? (Hip2Hops from Seattle) | It's very encouraging. He's so young, and so good defensively, that it's not going to take a ton of offense for him to be a very valuable prospect. The approach is still a concern, but what you have seen represents significant, and very real progress. (Kevin Goldstein) |
