I will preface this with the fact that I do like Palka and his outlook, but what separates him from Adam Brett Walker? Looking below, his stats from the first half of AA and ABW2's stats from the first half of AA in 2015 are rather similar. G AB R H 2B 3B HR RBI BB SO SB CS Palka (2016 - AA - 1st half) 66 249 35 68 12 4 16 54 31 84 5 2 Walker (2015 - AA-1st half) 66 248 46 67 17 2 19 59 19 101 2 2 Now I know that Walker both struck out and walked at a worse rate, though it wasn't too far off. Also keep in mind that Walker was a full year younger than Palka at the same level (they are roughly a week apart). I know Palka had 24 SB last year, but that has disappeared this year. My only thought it plate discipline, but as seen above they are more similar there than people realize. There is little question that the raw power Walker has is second to none. My question is why is Palka viewed as the better prospect? (yes, it's nit picking, but I think it's an interesting talker)
