When a team invests an amount in a specific free agent over a one-to-three year timeline, I hope it works. However, if you or someone else refuse to acknowledge the possibility of downside, you’ll be upset, now and again. Toss in the Craig Kimbrel Experience, and all three extremes happened. High highs, low lows, and a successful trade as it ended. For me, I’m often more about the very minor signing, a player who is added for a signing bonus in the low-five figure range. From there, he tries to prove he belongs... somewhere. Here is my prospect profile on Walker Powell.
