A "$10 bean" is officially defined as a position player who displays a combination of average, speed and power and who is within a year of contributing significantly in the majors.  George Springer is a good example.  The guy you've identified below is actually a "$10 wanna-bean."  That's definitely not the same.

The good news - he's still a highly touted prospect.  The bad news - he sure isn't playing like one.


Here's what he's up to at High A:

The Carolina League is where teams send their players to make them/break them.  Halfway through his running of the gauntlet, Mr. Zimmer looks like he might not make it.


As always - at your service,


Jeff
