Hitting talent in this system has questions. Pence has impeccable statistics but will have to prove himself against advanced pitching. Iorg is very toolsy but there are doubts about his ability against higher-level breaking balls. Zobrist has played well but has been moved too conservatively through the system. . .we're not exactly sure how good he really is.
Keep an eye on Grade C+ guys like Albers, Towles, and Douglass, all capable of taking major steps forward soon.
