It may sound odd but potential does beat out proven mediocity. What is the ceiling for Vanencia? Maybe a sereviceable inf, Not a great bat after the scouting reports came in. Oliveros? he wasn't with the Twins at the time of the Bullock Diamond trade. Invalid comparison. Thought you followed this a little more closely than that.

This guy doesn't have a clear argument, he just jumped into being ridiculousness with both feet and is trying to figure out how to swim.

Tell me, how much would you pay for Ryan Rayburn? Or Brent Lillibridge? I can probably come up with many more examples. This is what Danny Valencia is. He's about as valuable as the rest of the AAA filler like Slama that your initial post said could be bundled together for a quality player.
