Everyone wants Morales traded, doesn't mean Shatkins can actually pull it off. Not many teams out there that want to take on a DH at his salary when he's clearly no longer an effective hitter, and will cost your team more wins than he contributes to.
All of what you said can be true... however for every player you mentioned or any guy that comes out of nowhere from the minors and suddenly dominates after having that random breakthrough after having pedestrian minor league numbers, there are 1000 guys with the same pedestrian minor league numbers that don't break through. Simply pointing out that 1% (or less) of them have different outcomes doesn't mean that a player's minor league numbers aren't predictive, because for the overwhelmingly vast majority of players, they absolutely are.
You would also have to factor in the guys that are on the high side of the average regressing down, in addition to the guys on the low side of the average regressing upwards.
If we are talking highest floor.... Pillar
Highest present value.....Pillar due to that floor
Highest ceiling.... I could probably be swayed for arguments for either Grichuk or Hernandez
With Freeman's injury last night, that path to 1b/3b might be a bit shorter. Right now they are saying the injury isn't serious and it's not a re-break, but it was on the exact same same bone as last year's break from a Loup pitch.

i was trying to find that exact clip of the song for a embedded GIF but i was on my phone and it seemed like way too much effort for the very slight comedic impact.
I know what people find entertaining is pretty subjective... but Barker is only entertaining to me in the "should be at the ticket gate of a circus" type of thing.
