    I’m not sure if Mazara has anywhere close to the value that Know Hitter thinks he does. It is true that most people think Mazara has untapped potential, but he also has already played over 400 games and attributed very little by WAR measurements. He doesn’t have much speed, isn’t great defensively, doesn’t have defensive flexibility, AND hasn’t yet produced even a league average OPS+, that doesn’t make him a very valuable commodity. He definitely wouldn’t be worth most teams top prospect as Know Hitter suggested.
