Baseball delights me. As a fan, I can see the best in most any situation, and care little for indulging the negative possibilities of a situation. If something goes awry, it will be the expected outcome, so why not look for what can go well? But as someone seeking to scout and analyze talent, nitpicking and worrying is a must. So what can we worry about in early January? How about the Mariners’ new Shortstop of the Future’s defensive skill-set?
J.P. Crawford comes brimming with talent, but the 2017 and 2018 season represent flags of increasingly crimson hues for his once-star-bound trajectory.
