No one hates Conforto. McNeil seems to be an afterthought, and all he has done is surpass expectations. People love the underdog.
Conforto (first-round pick): 5 years-batting avg.254 poor, 30+ HRs last year outstanding, fielding average.
McNeil (12th round pick): 2 years-batting avg .320, 23 HRs last year exceeded expectations, fielding average, but can play multiple positions.
It's decision time for Conforto. Expectations for Conforto were high since he was a first-round draft pick. Do you sign him to a big contract even though some of his stats don't back it? Or do you go in another direction? The other issue with Conforto is his agent.
