Maybe because he's a college-developed hitter that has beaten up on rookie leagues? Remember, Kris Bryant did the exact same thing as the exact same kind of hitter as Schwarber.

Plus, Schwarber is a catcher...and it's becoming more and more of a distinct possibility that he may stick there. With his college-developed bat beating up on rookie leagues sticking at catcher, his value can skyrocket.

I wouldn't mind seeing 3-4 these guys turning into All-Star caliber players....

although reality is only 1 turns into that consistent all-star talent, while 2-4 turn into solid pro players, and rest bust.

Cubs are always a guilty pleasure and hope to one day cross wrigley off my stadium list.

eh...color me skeptical. I still think it's a pretty long shot for him to stick. Looking forward to seeing him try at Tennessee this year.

As for the previous question...

Dude has power...what does everyone need? power. Sure he'll tumble quickly if he can't hit at AA, but lets not act like he was some absurd reach. Dude was still top 20 (and was projected to the mets at 10) on just about everyone's draft board. And probably immediately got a bump when Mcleod is saying he was always their guy, because he knows a thing or two.
