Red Flag for Prospect with Attitude?

Skevich · 11-10-2022, 12:18 PM

I discovered after I picked my first round blue chip prospect that he, "doesn't have a good work ethic. He seldom gets along with coaches."
Can this have a deleterious effect on his development? Should I trade him?

That's not good. I believe it can have an impact on development.

If he’s that good of a prospect I wouldn’t worry about it.

Put him at whatever level of the minors you think he should be at and see how he develops. He may be a future HOF-er.

If\when he makes it to The Show he'll probably be fine if you don't have a team full of malcontents. Have a captain, other leaders, to keep things in line. If you're winning you'll be fine. I you're not winning you'll still have 3 years of control while trying to build, hopefully around him, a winner. If you do that then winning cures a lot of problems.

Be patient, just after the draft is not the time to panic.
