Relative to the rest of the players in the spots he is competing for? Yes.

Mainieri has already said he is grooming K Rob for that.

He's not that bad. He will have a good chance to win a spot in the infield next year.

Lairds arm is a 20 but his fielding is an 80. It's not just his speed that makes him the great OF he is. It's his judgment and great reaction/first step.

I'd also have Stevenson's speed at 80. If he isn't, who is?

fraley and stevenson are basically the same size.

where does fraley's power come from? And why does stevenson have so little power?

An 80 speed wise would be a guy like Billy Hamilton on Cincinnati or Royals pinch runner Terrance Gore.

It's hard for me to give out an 80 unless they are head and shoulders above everyone else and without question at the peak of their tool.

Two different swings and approach at the plate.

When Stevenson switched his load pre swing it allowed him to drive the bat on a level plane which is great for shots up the middle and line drive power but leaves little carry on the ones he does square up to.

I jinxed Laird at the end of 2013 season with a thread about our entire outfield and he didn't make an error the entire next year.

I think he's good.
