What happened to Josh Vitters...I'm guessing that he dropped off your "best prospects" list due to his lack of plate discipline?

Keith Law
Yes, in a nutshell. His whole approach isn't improving - if anything it's gone backwards. Great swing, potential power, but how's he going to get to it if he shows virtually no discrimination at the plate?<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->
I was shocked by this. Shocked!
It's obvious that Keith Law just hates the Cubs.

I'm actually shocked for two reasons.

-Vitters plate discipline has gotten much better this year. He currently has a .062 IsoP compared to .030 last year. That's actually a pretty decent IsoP.
-Vitters is still only 20 years old and is in AA where many prospects go straight from there to the majors.

I understand if he drops off of his list, but to be specifically critical about his plate discipline when he has dramatically improved it this year is, in a word... shocking.
