Boring answer but I’m going with the average hitter, average defender. Everyone loves a great hitter but just wait til they have a DJ Stewart bonk on the head moment time after time and the offense won’t seem so great. On the other hand, Izturis was cool to have on the team until he came up to bat. Give me someone who will make most of the plays and won’t kill you at the plate. -

He wasn’t rushed because the org and everyone who saw him felt he was ready. He’s mature, he’s confident and has dominated the minors. So, unless you want to ignore all of that, I don’t see any logical argument that he was rushed. -
I think he gets more games. They gave Cowser 77 PA last season, Holliday isn't halfway there yet. -

When people say a player was rushed, it usually means the player has no chance to compete, is in over their heads, confident shot to hell and may not recover. What you are saying isn’t that. You are saying they could use more seasoning iyo. Again, this may be semantics but rushed is usually a negative connotation that comes with ruining a players career. So no, I don’t think that exists unless it’s an example like I said.,going from HS to the majors or something over the top like that..which doesn’t happen.
