Waiting for Next Year sits down with Terry Pluto. Here’s Terry’s take on Marte:

So, do you envision Marte becoming that “middle of the order impact hitter,” or is that in the rear view mirror?
You guys sound pretty sophisticated, talking ages. When we signed him at 21, if you project out his numbers from there, Marte should have been a lot better than he currently is; but looks like he hit a wall and took a few steps backwards. He’s worth looking at to see what you have, but I lost confidence. Some guys look great on paper, but he has a very long swing, he can’t touch the outside corner of the plate, and his defense is very heavy-legged. He’s a nice kid, does not give anyone any problems. He’s a big mystery to me.
