With what Cade Marlowe is doing thru his first 12 games... I'm stricken by the knowledge that this kid was never a "top prospect", never rated in the "top 100," and barely cracked the M's top 10 prospects coming into the season.
Sure he's 26 and he was drafted in the 20th round, but what? Analysts can't look at everything he does well -- from his speed and defense to his ability to hit and hit for power while using the whole field -- and give him a rating that he deserves?
It's why all of these so-called scouts and Baseball America writers are so full of shit. Just biased fans jacking up the stock of the 1 percent while ignoring the other 99 percent working their tails off at getting better day-in and day-out.
I love stories like Marlowe's and Devin Sweet's. It's cool to have these types of dudes on the M's team again.
