2007

Chris Stewart is a catching prospect with a slingshot of an arm and a BB gun of a bat. There`s not much to get excited about here, but there`s also no reason that Stewart can`t be a perfectly adequate second-string catcher in the big leagues.

2006

Be skeptical of the modest power breakout at Birmingham; it came from a guy who got a lot of days off, and whose bat was regarded as a joke by most observers coming into the season. Still, for someone who projects at a .217 EqA, Stewart`s likely to have a big league career, as he has one of the four or five best catching arms in baseball.
