Also it is about depth @ position…

No. I believe that everyone agrees that Dyson will play plus defense in CF and steal about 60 bases a year. The question is really whether he can get on base. Like I’ve said before, if he develops some good contact skills or can draw a walk he will be valuable because he’ll turn those singles into doubles and those doubles into triples, or he’ll just steal his way to third.

And because that’s what everyone has seen in his ML debut they are likely to emphasize it because those speed tools have translated to the bigs. It’s one thing to see a guy speed around the minors. When he looks that much faster than everyone else except Pierre in the majors and shows he puts that speed to excellent use I think people are going to naturally give him a boost. Plus it’s all subjective so if Dutton talked to a couple scouts inside or outside the organization who like him a lot it will impact the ranking.

The idea of the Royals pressuring Dutton to rate Dyson highly is pretty off the wall. I assume you were kidding?
