BB-RefDesme is interesting story. Looked really good, dropped out to become a priest, and now he’s back? It’s a shame, I don’t think he’s got it anymore.
BB-RefStarted playing in Cuba at age 15, and then it became too easy for him. Eye looks great, remains to be seen if the power will come. Still only 20 years old.
Not so great. No surprise he’s struggling in his call-up this year.
BB-RefMLB’s #10 prospect for 2018. Looks just OK. Hope he can field.
MLB’s #3 2018 prospect. He’s hitting light tower homers in the minors, and his exit velocities are impressive, but so far the numbers indicate that his power is still developing and his eye is suspect. He’s super young, so maybe he still has lots of room for improvement.
BB-RefYoung, and good numbers at a glance, but that eye needs work.
BB-RefThe only gem acquired in the Manny Machado trade. Looks great so far.
No prospect.
BB-RefLooks not bad, especially as a shortstop. What do the Nats do with him with Trea Turner in the majors? Convert him to 2B, or he’s good trade bait.
