This guy looks great, and he’s moving up the ladder nicely. And a shortstop, no less.

Despite the fact that he’s blocked by Correa on the Astros, he should find his way into a major league lineup soon.

He’s got a sweet name. I’ve seen video, and I like his swing. He’s e seems to have flashes of brilliance. But I’m not sure he’s got enough. The eye is a little undisciplined at the minor league level, so he’d probably get eaten up at the major league level.

Very nice minor league numbers, making the big club at age 22 is a good sign. A torn labrum will halt his development temporarily, but he’ll be back on track next year.

Flashes of brilliance at the major league level and in spring training. Can he keep it up?

The lowest-rated prospect I’ve ever had in my system. As a first-round draft pick, that makes him one of the biggest busts ever.

Looks like he’s given up drinking and hitting, which is a good thing. Maybe he has a chance as a pitcher. But probably not.
