Hence the idea of a Miller/Taylor duel to the death.
.....
Recently, somebody asked James what is the downside for Mike Trout? A string of .300/25/100 years and a non-unanimous HOF vote? James said, um, the downside is to be Cesar Cedeno.
Young players haven't found their level, even at the Mike Trout level, and of course Taylor isn't Mike Trout - even Trout after Trout's first 20 games :- )
Kyle Seager could turn out to be nothing, much less Chris Taylor ...
.......
Fangraphs' #2 ranking of Taylor deserves respect -- I love Cistulli :- ) -- but in Taylor's case I'd say 30% chance of a league-average hitting, defending shortstop. Which would be 3.0 WAR.
