Snider story

There is a nice article on Travis Snider in today's Seattle Times. http://seattletimes.nwsource.com/html/sports/2003792275_snider17.html

I was wondering what was going with him, as he had sat for several games. I like him as a prospect, think he has a good head on his shoulders and will be a solid .280+, 30+HR guy in Toronto. Not sure where he will play in the field, but I think he is one of the AL's top 15 prospects.

I also like watching him and Lars Anderson develop at the same time, as I think they will both be mashers in the AL and are roughly the same age.

Anderson
isn't talked as much on this board right now, but he's got the tools to be a tremendous talent.  He will start to turn some of those doubles into HR's as he adds more to his frame.  I think he's definitely a legit. 30+ Hr  .300 avg. type.

frame is already heavy...
At 5'11", 245, I hope Snider is not going to get any bigger.  That doesn't mean he won't add some power as he gains experience, but he's pretty well maxed out physically.

Yeah
Not much room to add bulk, but what bulk he has, is just that.  Dude is thick.  He's an absolute monster physically.  Not much fat on him at all.
