Potential, potential, potential. It seems we all get caught up on it when it comes to baseball players, huh? Every team, every organization, has multiple uber-talented athletes who are one small adjustments from blossoming. Sam Hilliard is that guy for the Rockies.
Anyone who knows me will be aware that I’ve been high on Hilliard for a while. As good as athletes today are, he’s just on another level, even for modern standards. How many 6’ 5”, 235 lbs centerfielders you know of? Even better, how many athletes of that size you know who can run at upwards of 29 ft/s?
