Craig is 30 and has never played 135 games in a major league season to date. Last year was an extreme outlier season for Craig. You just don't maintain that kind of avg with risk over a career.
Also if you're judging a prospect based purely on his first 100 sporadically placed at bats I don't know what to tell you. You probably would have traded Mike Trout away after his first year and kept Torii Hunter.

he doesnt blow you away at the plate but he will run down some crazy **** in center.
If I gave you the impression that I have made any conclusions about the type of career Taveras will have, I'm sorry. That isn't what I was saying.
I do think it is fair to say that he hasn't lived up to the hype of being "the next Albert Pujols"... Which I thought was ridiculous to say in the first place.
That being said Puig and Abreu both had a pretty impressive first 100 at bats...

He was never called "the next Albert Pujols". Mozeliak said that he was the best Cardinals hitting prospect since Pujols.
Couldn't agree more.

Too tired to care
I still don't believe in the jays. They are perfectly capable of ****ting the bed and getting swept by the astros this weekend. Their bullpen is wonky, they're missing Encarnacion, Lawrie and Lind (kills righties) for the last month and still no timetable for return, and you're never sure what you'll get from their SPs on any given night

The biggest loser in this all was the Phillies. That team should have been blown up at the 2012 trade deadline.
This is what fans have to look forward to next year besides 90+ losses.
Utley 36, 15 mil
Howard 35, 35 mil
Rollins 36, 11 mil
Ruiz 36, 8.5 mil
Byrd 38, 8 mil
Burnett 38, 15 mil
Lee 37, 25 mil
Papelbon 34, 13 mil

2012 didn't happen?
He's basically played 3 total seasons now worth of games, 2 of which were good, one was terrible. Why would 2013 be the outlier when it was basically identical to half of 2011 and 2/3 of 2012?
I'm not saying he's anything special but that doesn't make too much sense. He could easily put together 2-3 decent seasons. Probably will suck Chad Tracy style.
