If I remember, Deck MaGuire was considered more of a “sure thing” than Brandon Cumpton. Taking nothing away from Deck, who may have a long and successful career, Brandon seems to have surprised some folks.
Kudos to Brandon and kudos to the Pirates development staff.
Do you think Palka has what it takes to get to the bigs? He’s got a lot of power but will his batting average suffice? Same question with Skole. He was real good until that surgery and I now wonder if he’ll make it back.
The Nationals seem to understand where Skole is in coming off the injury. I think he will at the very least make the Majors as a September call-up at some point — though hard to say if that will happen this year. Some of it also depends on how the Nationals eventually sort out LaRoche/Zimmerman/Rendon, etc.
Palka has a shot although the Midwest League is a loooonnnng way from the Majors right now.
