I believe that when taking a look at a younger player what he can do on the mound at 18 is much easier to project from than what he can do at the plate. It's hard to excell at the upper levels while concentrating on both, so if a kid can throw 90+, I think it's more likely, unless he is a real rare talent with the bat, that he will be led away from the plate to concentrate on pitching. Travis Wood is a good example. growing up, he could throw, but I thought (at least through about age 16) that his best bet to make the upper levels was with his bat. The kid could absolutley rake. Note that he is the answer to a recent MLBtv trivia question (what pitcher has the most home runs over the past 5 years?). However, he was a lefty that could throw 93mph. What advise would any sane advisor give him?
