Liam Parker was signed from Town, and he's a standard centre back at this level. Stainfield played exceptionally well against the reserves one night (for Swineshead?), and is another raw talent. We seem to have a knack of turning cheap young centre backs into good prospects, so why not?
Plenty of strikers have had poor careers until finding the right club, or circumstance. Adam Boyd and Jermaine Easter spring to mind!
