show me the numbers and progressive analysis that says he is now a top 10 spect?

Offensive numbers that are ever so slightly above average for a league (league average OPS – 684, beckham 705) don’t get it done. Multiple scouting reports saying he won’t stick at short don’t get it done. The only things he has going for him are that he’s young for his league, has flashed a small bit of power, has a decent arm, and supposedly has plus makeup.

To be a top ten in this org you need more than that. I’m awaiting your reply for some “progressive statistical analysis and reasoned argument” If you’d like to educate yourself a little go here

I think youre confusing me with someone that said he is a top ten guy.

I saw your comment, and I thought how insightful. This guy not only didnt form a complete sentence, yet somehow, he still let us know this important information. I was in such awe by your skills that I nearly fainted. Also, in case you missed it, Lee is higher on this list than Beckham. Im not really worried about this list, or any list. Mainly because I think its the biggest waste of time ever. I might not agree with the placement of some guys, but because I didnt vote but a few times. Im going to keep my reactionary, caveman type answers to myself.

Guyer OPSed .986 in a pitcher's league in AA last year with plus LF defense

Bailey OPSed .650 in complex league and has a history of injuries. Yeah, I understand upside and all, but it would have been ludicrous to rate Bailey over Guyer right now.
