Buster Posey got a lot of attention in the 2008 draft, but Skippy showed the same sort of offensive potential, which led the Marlins to jump on him. A left-handed and more power-hitting type of catcher, he also lags in the defensive and especially game-calling parts of the game, which means he might end up a quality run producer, sure, but not right away.

His bat hasn't kept up with his high-school potential yet, but he's been showing signs of blooming recently. He should get another chance to grow at AA Jacksonville this season. Before you write him off based on those atrocious strikeout numbers, remember that the Mauers and Poseys are exceptions, not rules: most catchers take a long time to develop.
