I'm trying to avoid the incessant negativity of reality so I'm inviting y'all to engage in some fantasy.
If you were the most athletic version of yourself, what is the highest level of baseball you could reach, and what would be your strengths and weaknesses?
I think I could have been a decent college second baseman. Good hands, mediocre range, adequate arm, good baseball smarts. Maybe drafted in a very late round back when they had very late rounds, and I'd flame out before getting to high A. At the plate, I'd be a halfway decent contact guy, decent eye, and virtually no power. There's just no version of me that has the eyesight required to be a decent hitter.
