James Darnell has hit at every level of baseball he’s played at including three years in the tough SEC and his current time at High-A with Lake Elsinore. A very strong young man with solid swing fundamentals and big time college experience can usually do very well in the lower levels of the minors. "Solid" is the word that comes to mind when I watch Darnell hit, and I'll tell you why. Solid build, solid swing, and very solid production but is his ceiling any higher than being just a "solid" player?
