Papelbon's Opinion of Puig in All-Star Game

[Lord Scalious]

I'm actually rather unimpressed with Adam Jones, too, but maybe that's just me.

Eh...He isn't elite. But he is still a very productive OF, IMO...(despite his terrible approach at the plate)

To be fair...if you are hitting over .400. Would you have any motivation to evolve or change your approach at the plate?

To him at least, it's Fixing something that isn't broken.. We shall see, maybe he actually does 'evolve" himself when he falls into a bit of a slump.

All I know is...he has More Hits than Harper in 70 less Plate Appearances...

He has Similar Contact Skills and Plate Discipline to Adam Jones really. He makes it work mainly because of his Talent alone, Puig, from the looks of it...is even more Talented than him...

Well put. The kid's fun to watch, so let's see what happens.

Nice post, I believe this sums it up.

He's a moderately productive outfielder. I think "very" is an overestimation of his performance.
