You guys have any scouting info on Yenri Rojas?  7K/5IP shutout today.   

I'm just wishfully-thinking that maybe he's got a good arm, and a lively fastball that gets GB and avoids HR.  But has been a developmental guy from day one, and is perhaps only starting to develop into competitive breaking stuff.

Curious what kind of power the team thinks Southisene can grow into.  Is it Nick Madrigal power like he's displayed to this point?  Because as a shortstop who steals a ton of bases that probably is playable.  Or can he end up in the JP Crawford or Bryson Stott neighbordhood?

At time of the draft I thought there was 10-15 hr pop, but there's been very little info on him this year so I don't know if that's still true.
