it definitely drops a prospects stock? according to who? you? remember when we traded hanley? he only hit .270 that year to go along with 6 hr's and he got us josh beckett. you're no scout, all you do is look up stats online. there's more to a prospect than stats.
case in point. you claim rizzo needs to hit for avg because you looked up his 2010 stats. should have dug a little deeper to find out that rizzo hit .297 in '09' and .373 in '08'. he wasn't known for being a power hitter when he got drafted, he was known for being a good defensive 1b with a good eye.
"Scouting Report: Tough-as-nails first baseman with an excellent build. Solid overall approach at the plate, good eye, quick bat speed, impressive timing. Gap power to all fields. "
btw, .263, 815ops, 20hr, 88rbi from a 20 yr old in aa makes him one of the better 1b prospects in baseball.
