J.J. Cooper of BA: I'm an Evan White believer.
Read this today in the Baseball America Prospect Hot Sheet Chat (June 16)... J.J. Cooper: I'm an Evan White believer. If he can more consistently elevate, he could hit for average, hit for power and be the best defensive first baseman in the game. http://www.baseballamerica.com/chat/?1497632319
For context, J.J. is the Managing Editor for Baseball America.
That gets me pretty excited, after reading a lot of "why did we draft a glove-first 1B with our first round pick" comments. I mean who knows what happens, but this is an encouraging comment from an objective, respected source.
