The Edge of Seventeen: Champ Stuart

Edgy MD Mar 23 2017 04:28 AM

There's no substitute for speed. It helps you on offense and defense. It's fortunate that people like it because ... it's about 85% of my game. Is that going to get me to the bigs? Well, maybe not, but they're faking it in center right now, and I'm working on getting the rest of my game to catch up. And I got to play in the AFL. And the system is thin on outfielders. So ... maybe? Maybe soon? Help me out here.

He has a great glove but for now, he looks like Juan Lagares's backup and since Juan is a backup, and the Mets don't prioritize D in CF, Stuart can take out a 5 month lease in Las Vegas.

You can't steal first. Until he learns to hit his way there, he won't make it to the majors. And he'll be learning at A+ this year. Later

Maybe someday I'll stop thinking of this guy whenever I see Champ Stuart's name:

Stuart may not be particularly big league bound, but he's not heading back to St. Lucie. He's probably Bingo's top outfielder, and will split the season between AA and AAA. He'll even see some some September time in Flushing, if mostly as a pinch-runner/defensive sub.

In other words, he'll be a Countdown Quiz answer a few years from now.

Wouldn't expect to see him in NYC unless several options at CF don't work first. My impression from the few moments of seeing him play in ST is that he's a minor leaguer at least till late 2018, but hopeful he can improve on his game in AA/AAA this season.

Not sure if he's got a ML career in front of him, but he's a much better bet than is his cousin Loser Stuart.

Nothing to see here in 2017, at least not Metly.

Congratulations Champ! And nice try to all the Challenger Stuarts, including Little, Smalley, Scott and Dick "Dr. Strangeglove".
