Yeah. Agreed. Also, give him a few years. By the age of 25, we should have a good idea of how his career will be. Just because he's alread in the bigs does not mean that he has become as good as he can be.

Well, if Bobby Witt had ever learned how to throw strikes, he would have been a HOF'er. Command is the toughest thing to project for a young pitcher.
