Let's hope it happens. One nite, every time I submitted a comment, I'd get the message: "It looks like you've already said that." The comment would vanish but then would show up when I re-loaded the site. Dan, I agree with your timetable for Stubbs. Let’s hope it happens.

He almost beat out a couple routine groundouts. As long as he makes contact he's going to pressure the defense.

I'm getting rejected over and over again when I try to post something w/ links in it, so I'll give up on that... Basically I was just trying to say... Stubbs is interesting and tricky to project. I've heard for a long time that Stubbs might be comparable to Mike Cameron, which I'd love. I've never laid eyes on Stubbs, but from his stats I've got a new (and somewhat pessimistic) comp to throw out there -- Chad Curtis. This would be a better post if I could link to the stats of Cameron, Curtis, and Stubbs, but I think I'll shy away from that for now and stop here...

In my opinion, the likely path for Stubbs at this point is…

–2009 – September callup

–2010 – 4th outfielder on the Reds (sort of like the Cardinals are using Colby Rasmus) – getting decent playing time – 300ish PA’s?

–2011 – starting CF

Would you all agree w/ that?

That said, he’s a little confusing as prospects go. He’s not the Drew Stubbs that was a first-round pick in 2006, he’s not an exciting power/speed package anymore (a huge contact problem has been corrected with a much shorter swing), but the power aspect of the equation is gone for Stubbs, who has yet to go deep in 23 games this year. Regardless, he’s hitting, he’s drawing walks, and he’s still one of, if not the best defensive center fielder in the minors. He’s not less valuable, he’s just different.

I would take that if he plays great defense and gets on base to create Havoc. He could still be one of those 15 HR type guys.
