Berry will make an outstanding SS. Got an interesting 12 POT OF. Should have high Hit and BC and would make a solid LF, just not sure if I can hang on to him.

I think there's been a bit of pot moving around. Mateo looked like an iffy possible future 1B as a 13 pot, as a 12, he's living out of his duffel bag. -and then there's Arturo Tafoya - He sure as heck wasn't a 15 pot when I insta-cut him ... then he made it through waivers unclaimed and thanks to my minor league base-running coach threatening to quit unless I gave him someone in the low minors to work with - we brought him back to see if he would run on command and what would happen if he got to play a few games. Apparently, he is very receptive to coaching. .362/.397/.534 +2 si / +2 pot Maybe the scouts over-bumped him and he'll land on 14 ... but "I'm feeling much better now" (where is that John Astin emote?)
