Cervelli's calling card is his D. Offensively, he's an average and OBP guy with little power, and he has a ways to go. He's looked overmatched against MLB-quality pitching. My guess is that he winds up as a good back-up for a good team or a mediocre starter for a back-end team.

Doubtful. Cervelli’s calling card is his D. Offensively, he’s an average and OBP guy with little power, and he has a ways to go. He’s looked overmatched against MLB-quality pitching.

My guess is that he winds up as a good back-up for a good team or a mediocre starter for a back-end team.

My bet is that he makes the big league team, maybe not this year, but soon, and that he becomes a clubhouse leader. He was impressive in the WBC, and I hope the Yankees take note. On the other hand, I want him to stay in Trenton, because Scranton is a haul for me to get to, and he's easy on the eyes.
