Forget this year. I'm done with it. Instead, read this nice profile of Daniel Robertson, the new shortstop of the future and maybe the new best A's prospect.

Question, though: Addison Russell's calling cards aren't exactly his range and speed, right? So when comparing their tools, knowing Robertson doesn't have Russell's bat (because no middle infield prospect does), isn't it pretty damning to say Robertson doesn't even have Russell's range and speed?

The flip side is that even if each of Robertson's tools is a touch below (or more) he can still be an excellent prospect because Russell is that good. Like, if you're only 60 percent of Barry Bonds, you're amazing too.
