I just realized a couple of things:

You started with this guy just out of high school; I missed that in the first screen. Now he cannot get out of rookie league.
Two different scouts were involved. The first guy, Scherzer, seems to have blown it when he rated this player as high potential. Turner rated him lower and his latest assessment is lower still.

At 21, with ratings and numbers like these in rookie league, Chavez looks like one of those players that I clean out in advance of the upcoming amateur draft.

I wonder, though, whether your [mis]handling of him had anything to do with his lack of success and a premature retirement from professional baseball, his once stellar high school potential unfulfilled. Was it you? Was it YOU??
