Now thats unfair to Janko and its not his fault Feaster's comments and projections were way off base. That's just cruel. But we still have guys like Reinhart, Agostino, and Arnold who have equal or similar or greater skill sets than Janko.
To me, Janko should not be above Reinhart, Gillies or Ortio. Perhaps there's a fair argument for him being above everyone else, but not these guys.

There is still a sizeable contingent on this board who feel pretty strongly that Feaster's optimistic projections were certainly not "off base." There have been a myriad of factors that contribute to explaining exactly why Jankowski can still be considered to have an elite level ceiling despite his slower trajectory and low offensive output from the past season.
In short, you have every right to feel that Feaster was wrong about him, but it is still too early to be making these sorts of sweeping generalisations about his future.
