The most accurate description...ever

This is from a story in the Dayton Daily News. The most accurate description ever is of Jeff Brantley and I have highlighted said description in italics.
Jeff Brantley spoke at Fifth Third Field today, Sept. 15, on the concourse of the field where so many current Cincinnati Reds played early in their careers.

Prior to his speech before a group gathered by Progressive Printing for a noontime luncheon, he spoke about some of the former Dayton Dragons now in the big leagues.

He was brutally honest.

He even said as minor leaguers Yonder Alonso (one of the few non Dragons among the prospects) and Juan Francisco develop, if first baseman Joey Votto doesn’t return to mid-year form with his hitting, he’d trade Votto and go with the slightly younger players.
Also an example...
Catcher Ryan Hanigan: “I love his skills. When it’s all said and done, he’s a .250 hitter in the big leagues. He’ll figure out how to knock in runs. If I was pitching to him, he’s not an automatic out. Drew Stubbs is an automatic out. (Shortstop) Paul Janish is an out, from now until the day is over.”
