raph rhymes---MLB potential

Anybody who can hit for average like this kid can play in the MLB.
My question, is what position? He doesn't have plus speed or power, so one would have to assume OF is out of the question in the majors.
2b maybe? Or will a team take an OF who will hit near .300 and have less than 7 HRs in a season?

My guess would be LF.

Why would OF be out of the question, Have you seen some of the scrubs that play left and right field in the majors. As long as he can hit they will let him play left but he better hit over 300 because he doesn't have enough pop.

He can DH

Pretty sure he can play second base proficiently.

Great college player, will never sniff the show.
No power, average speed at best, average fielder/shitty arm. Being a great pure hitter can only take you so far.

He'd have to play 2nd. He has zero power. Can't play corner infield or outfield with no power and little speed

Not much value at a corner outfield spot. My best comparison would probably be a right handed batting, not as good version of Dustin Ackley. Absolutely zero chance of first round pick consideration but if he can move to second competently and show he's not a one year wonder, he could become a solid prospect.

If he can continue to hit in the minors, I can see him becoming a Freddy Sanchez Placido Polanco type. If guys like Darwin Barney, Ryan Theriot, and Skip Shumacker can be major league contributors, I don't see why Ralph couldn't.
