Of course, it wasn't long ago that Brad Miller wasn't seen as Brad Miller.
Absolutely, Taylor is unlikely to have the HR and ISO numbers he had in California. And you're right ... he can't be ranked as high as Miller because of that.
But he's shown consistent on-base skills and excellent speed, and he's considered a better fielder than Miller. Don't discount the triples. That's a good sign of basepath speed that also leads to extra bases and higher BABIP.
I disagree on the strikeout rate. He's well under 20% and I don't see that as a problem.
And for your overall assessment, you're a tough crowd! It would have been much better with D.J., but I like these seven.
Good stuff. Keep it coming, bliss.
