[USML Announce] Nukes

Mark,
 
Let's be fair.  You can parse the numbers (projected numbers, that is) a hundred different way to spin a Rove like conclusion out of them.  However, this is what the renowned transsexual experts at Baseball Prospectus concluded with respect to Nix:
 
"At this point, there's still room for optimism, but he'll have to stay healthy, recover the plate discipline he showed in the minors and demonstrate some ability to hit lefties to be a regular.  IT'S A TALL ORDER." (emphasis added).
 
I'll bet you lunch that this guy never becomes a regular outfielder, let alone a star.
 
Jeff

It would start with pointing out that PECOTA predicts an OBP of .315.  Not much potential here.
 
But a projected slugging average of .467--not too shabby for a 25 year-old (e.g., same as Grady Sizemore; higher than Rondell White, Lyle Overbay and Carl Everett).  And, guess what, we don't count OBP in this league, nor it seems does the Texas front office.
