A little early to surmise that in my opinion

However, I do think it’s a leap of faith to give him too much support at this juncture on this poll.

Posted this in last poll, but a bit too late re: Darnell vs. Brentz

Alright, I am going to try to persuade you Brentz voters to switch to Darnell.

Darnell, AA/AAA: .310/.406/.547/.953, 147wRC+, .412 wOBA, 13.6 BB%, 15.6 K%
Brentz, A/A+: .306/.365/.574/.939, 156 wRC+, .410 wOBA, 7.9 BB%, 22.7 K%

Developmentally, Brentz is on the same path as Darnell, playing A and A+ as a 22 year old, and Brentz probably won’t make it up to the majors until age 24 like Darnell. Darnell has proven himself in the high minors already, and has much better walk rates and k-rates. Defensively, Darnell is an average third baseman, while Brentz is trying to improve his defense enough to become an average right fielder. Brentz one advantage is power, but that could take a hit as he moves up the ladder if he cannot get his strikeouts down and walks up. Even if he does, the positional adjustments between third base and RF will wipe out any advantage here.

To me Darnell is clearly ahead of Brentz – his skill set is tested at a higher level and his BB% and K% should make it easier for him to productively transition to the majors.
