Gotta love those little league stand up in the parkers in the minors.

Nobody knows yet but he was a big bonus baby from last year along with Juan Tomas. Could be fantastic.

I don’t think Cabada can play SS in the bigs so that limits his ceiling a bit.

In my eyes, it comes down to future strength/power to determine if he can be a big league starting 2B.

Agree. He seems to already have too thick of a body to stick at SS. Not sure if he has an arm for 3rd so 2nd is his likely destination.
