I've got a guy who's projected 40-90-85-85-40 at a COF position. How good is that?

I'd play him.

90 PWR is elite, be better if his EYE was higher, but with the 85/85 splits, I'd surely give him his opportunity

Those projections are those of a second-division starter-- .270/.310/.480 or so given the usual park and world caveats-- plus players almost never reach their projections. I'd certainly try to develop him but I'd be looking to trade him more than actually playing him at the big league level.

What is his speed like? How does he bat? Not enough info.

Dedelman's predictions are pretty spot on based on what Sheets has done for me. Post a link to the player. That will give people a better understanding of what he actually will develop into. Even at $20M advanced, the projections are going to be off.

I remembered wrong. He's projected 24-90-85-85-39.

Given his speed and batting stance if he reaches projections id say he will get you an .800 + ops and be a good ml player

I saw that. Left hander batters and switch hitters produce differently then right handed hitters? What are you asking?

Misunderstanding, I thought you were saying that his batting stance helped him out.
