A 3-4 win player is a possibility and I expect him to explode through Memphis this year.
Maybe a few nits to pick; he's probably overvaluing Thomas and Williams a bit, though he has them in the correct tier (I just think his writeups were a little too glowing; Williams is definitely running out of runway). He mentioned Gallegos but not Elledge (probably because Gallegos is on the 40 and Elledge isn't). Krucszynski is an odd guy to pull from our pile of fungible AAAA arms but he did have a nice rise last season.
He's one of the few people willing to point out that Munoz probably isn't that good and his defensive 'versatility' is a myth.
