There are plenty of examples of guys that struggled in their early to mid 20s that went on to great careers so I was just pointing out that using ridiculously rushed teenagers wasn't the best example to use.
It doesn't matter to me if they are teenagers or 28 year olds. Jumping to the MLB is tough for most players and there is typically a learning curve. That is my point. Yeah, there are probably much better examples, but to me it isn't about the age, so I listed a few I could think of off the top of my head. I'm not trying to find comparable players, I'm just saying that we need to wait and see with Trammell.
You're naming off the very few late bloomers and acting like it's the norm.

Jose Bautista was another. Great, it happens.
I never acted like anything is the norm. All I am saying is we don't know what Trammell will become, and his early struggles don't mean he will never be good in MLB. THAT'S IT.

Yeah, that's a good point. It's not like he was even half as bad as Evan White.

Are you this miserable of a person in real life?

I was agreeing with you.

Evan White's a lost cause though.

Not at all. You will be surprised when you meet him in person next Spring. :)

People dislike my opinion just as much in person sometimes, absolutely. And I care just as little then.

That's the root of your question.

Even when agreeing you have to make a snide comment that makes it come of as sarcastic. It seems you are picking small points of my posts and arguing against things I'm not even saying, so when you have to post negative thighs like that, I can't help but think you are saying "of course he has a chance, just look at Evan White."

I don't care about the opinion as much as how people act when that have a different opinion...
