Posey... eh, what's his potential, .285, 15-20 homers, good to great defense and he should walk a bit so a decent OBP.

 

With the no. 8 pick I want someone with star potential and I don't think that guy is Posey. Give me Smoak.

Posey could be the best catcher in baseball. I'd say his potential is pudge. He has all the physical tools to be a premiere defensive catcher all while hitting .300 with 20 HR power and good speed (for the first 10 or so years of his catching career). As far as I'm concerned, that is star potential. I'm not saying he turns into Pudge, but do you remember the impact Pudge had on games during his hay-day.

He not only was a star on O, but he shut down the opponent's running game, which is huge to his pitchers. That is a big advantage.

Even if he is "just" .285, 15-20 homers, and good to great D at catcher... do you realize how valuable that is? How many catchers are there at any given time in baseball who do that? 1 or 2, maybe 3? That is a FANTASTIC line for a major league catcher.
