- Well, I didn't really mean outstanding like HOF outstanding. I think Cole is
- one step away from being one of the best in the game, but unfortunately, he
- isn't as consistent with his base stealing as most, and he is one of the most
- punchless hitters I've seen in a while. I believe Cole has yet to get his
- first major league home run.
-
- Cole willl probably hit around .290, as he always seems to do, but his OBP
- leaves something to be desired. You're right about outstanding going a
- little too far. How about above average?
-
- Cole is definitely major league ability, and will be a valuable component of
- the Rockies.
