What is his ceiling? A SS with a weak bat? He would have to make huge strides just to be that. That is the best you could hope for.

On the other hand, take somebody like Shaffer. What is his upside? A corner INF with 30+ HR ability.

Or Giolito. A potential top of the rotation starter if he is healthy.

Or Gallo. A premium power hitter anchoring the middle of a line-up.

I’m no saying any of those guy will come close to being those things, but my point is there upside is tremendously higher than Marrero’s.
