As a shortstop, probably not.

He might could make the league as a second baseman. But his bat upside is limited

Milam is a plus plus defender. His challenge is not having another tool that’s is on the plus side of things.

I think someone will take a flyer on him based on his fielding ability and the fact he’s a switch hitter.

He’ll need to hit for average/ops to stick in the league.

He will have his try in the minors

Defense is very good(mlb level imo)
Arm is solid
Hitting is a 5(dont be in denial)
Base running ?

can they fix him at the plate in A ball? Dont know. To make the majors he will have to be able to hit. If he had Curiel's skill set at the plate , he could start in the show one day but he doesnt have Curiel's skill at the plate. If I were him, id make sure he gets a degree.

He reminds me of trey Morgan
I think the metal bat gives him more pop , but a wood bat that's that deep drive and makes it a single over the 2nd basemans head.

Ya, Bump around-
The question was will Milam make the bigs? & I made the Tommy Tanks comparison.

So has Tommy made the big league? No
Has he Bumped around in lower ball for last 18 months? Yes

I know Milam isn’t a great hitter, but he is capable of hitting mid 200s.

Against mlb pitching? Not now, he isn’t.

Jose Altuve or Dustin Pedroia ring a bell?


Milam has a hell of a long way to go to match Jose Altuve or Dustin Pedroia's hitting.
