People are coming to that realization 38 games into his pro career? Seems hasty.

DirtyBird was formerly a talent evaluator for the Washington Generals.

Touché.   Just let the kid play for a while and we’ll see what we have.

Wasn't Aberdeen where bats went to die last year? Or at least slow down a bit?

Not for Samuel Basallo but it seems most hitters take off after being promopted from Aberdeen to Bowie.  Of course, Bradfields hitting profile is a bit different than our previous prospects.

I am happy to just let EBJ simmer, man. I always viewed him as a bit of a project. It's ok if he makes it to the big leagues at 25 like some of our other prospects. I don't know why he needs to speed through the system. It's development. It's different for everybody.

There are some in the minors section of the board. 

There are some in this very thread including responses to my post up top.

If you're projecting a future lineup without Mullins in 2026, then EBJ is a reasonable placeholder name to put in there. I would assume most people understand that it's not a sure thing to work out that way.
