Is <b>Matt Szczur</b> a big time baseball prospect, now that he will be solely focused on the sport? What is his ceiling?

Every area guy I talked to about him this spring called him a 4th/5th outfielder with plus speed and outstanding makeup but limited baseball tools.<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->
From the Keith Law chat.
You gotta admit, Law's answer almost reads as if<i> I made it up</i> as a way to spoof Hendry/Wilken.
I mean, that is absolutely their <b>prototype.</b>
Law still loves Castro, though (it should be noted that he was trumping Castro a <i>long</i> time ago):

Starlin Castro or Elvis Andrus?

How is that their prototype? Who, beside Colvin fits that description?

<!--quoteo-->QUOTE <!--quotec-->ill (Lincoln,NE): Thanks for answering my question Jim, Do you see Matt Szczur's ceiling being something along the lines of a Grady Sizemore type centerfielder or am I just being optimistic?
Jim Callis: Not saying he'll get there, but no, that's not an unrealistic ceiling. Szczur has top-of-the-line speed and athleticism, and he can really hit.<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->
So Callis says Szczur's ceiling could be Sizemore. Is that prototype Hendry/Wilken?

I wish that I believed in Fate. I wish I didn't sleep so late. I used to be carried in the arms of cheerleaders.
