Receiving gets rave reviews too.

That's great to read!  Didn't know that.  He might be improving fast, then?  Last year at Myrtle, in 56 catching games he had 23 PB/E (12, 11), which is extraordinary.  And the offseason writeups seemed to reflect bat and arm.  If he's improved his receiving now to 'rave' levels, that sounds really significant.  

Any input on his "soft" skills? Pitch calling, working with pitchers, framing, all of those kinds of soft things?

Sounds like Poteet is at least average defensively all-around, that's good to hear

As much as I continue to think Hartshorn probably is a little too high and Rojas is probably a little too low, it's impressive that the system entered the year as "one of the least exciting" and in just a few months, and even before the draft has managed to get to essentially "average".
