Ok. He’d prefer the +10 defensive player at premium positions. And your point for mentioning Jeter is? -
People in general, but I'm comfortable applying the idea to baseball players and other professional athletes. Yes, to be an MLB player you have to be mentally strong and you have to overcome adversity. But I don't think it's as black and white as, you're mentally strong as a person or you're not. Your mental strength can be different at different points in time just like your other skills are. Mental strength might be one of the skills that is still developing in some players, and it might develop in different ways depending on what environment they're in, including what happens to them on the field. -

Did you read his whole post? -
What does that have to do with what he posted? He said great defenders are usually good athletes. He didn’t say all great athletes are great defenders.

Like I said a few weeks ago, I was told that the Os FO views Holliday as the most advanced player in the org (at that age)..far beyond where Gunnar was. That combined with his performance is why he was moved quickly. Development isn’t linear. Not everyone needs to be developed in the same manner. Some guys are just too good for their level.
