That's pretty myopic.  Steve Pearce had a 13 year career, and was worth 10 WAR, and had a career OPS+ of 108.

Made 9 team changes …. He was a journeyman at best.

Sure, and for the 9th overall prospect in your system you should be pretty thrilled.

If you get 10 WAR out of your 9th best prospect, your system is stacked! Nothing wrong if he ends up with a Steve Pearce career, but he does have the upside to do better.

So did Pearce.  Injuries really impacted his career.

If there were no injuries you could probably have 60 MLB teams with no discernable loss in talent level.

Here's Norby's 2022 highlights. Notice how many home runs to right and right-center as well as some big boy home runs to center and left center. The home run around the 1:00 mark was 430 ft.

Chase Utley good or Dan Uggla bad?

Every youth baseball player in America should watch and see how much power can be generated from a short, simple, compact swing.  What a stroke.
