Quote:There is a difference between welcoming unrealistic expectations and delivering on them. There were people touting Bryant as the LeBron James of rookies, which is premature. I can safely say that I don't see Kris Bryant ever being the best player in the game during his career.

 

Kris Bryant was rated the # 1 prospect in 2015 by Baseball America and the # 2 prospect by MLB.Com.  While I don't think Bryant will be quite on Mike Trout's all around level,  realistic expectations should be for Bryant to be a top 5 MLB player sometime in the next 3 to 4 seasons.   As long as Bryant remains relatively healthy,  he should develop into a foundation type of player.
