I can't believe how divisive this thread has become
After watching "TOP PROSPECTS, TOP PROSPECTS HERE!!!" like Arencibia and Snider suck and become essentially non-major leaugers, is it somehow wrong to hope that Goins outperforms previous expectations?
I see a guy who plays excellent defense at a position where that is what matters most, and hold out some hope that he could be a league average bat or at least close to it. I want him to succeed and I have enjoyed watching him play. If he keeps this up the rest of this year and in to spring training, I can see him having a shot at every day playing time.
Add-on post rant: I recognize that there is a difference between HOPING this guy becomes good enough to play every day and EXPECTING him to.
