Everyone predicted that this guy would be the next Vancini. So far inguries have lowered that assessment, but he's still got HOF tatooed all over. About as sure fo a thing as you can get.

No idea what the Phillies were thinking here. He was able to consistenty hit well at the A and AA level for years. Looks like he just lost his motivation. He'll probably never amount to that much, his talents are too low even for an exapnsion team to take on.
