Prospect of the Day: Starling Marte, OF, Pittsburgh Pirates - Minor League Ball

Always enjoy Sickels take on things, and the comments are usually ripe with good information as well.

Nice report. The alarming thing is if he can't ever learn to hit the breaking balls he will only ever be a AAAA player. It will be interesting to see how he does in AAA next year.

He hit well enough at AA that AAA shouldn't be a problem. IMO, he is still the same prospect until he learns to control the zone better, or transfers his skill set to the majors completely.
