Minor League Musings
CaliforniaRaisin replied to Little Slide Rooter's topic in Cubs Minor League Talk
I think he's already the org's #1 prospect but if he's going to be around a .900 OPS all season with his defensive reputation and age related to league, he's on his way to being a top 50 prospect in baseball. Maybe top 25. Yeah, I think that if he keeps this up he will be will compare pretty favorable to Francisco Mejia at a similar point in his development. That's an elite guy. I would say that we have a pretty clear top 3 of Amaya/Alzolay/Lange. After that I think is where you can go in different directions. I'd actually compare him favorably to the Dodgers' Keibert Ruiz at this time last year since he split his time between both A-ball levels at age 19 last year. -
Ohh, some of the hitters drafted did well on the Mookie Betts neuro testing. That's exciting.

One of the reasons Brennan Davis, Cole Roederer and Kohl Franklin might be ranked lower in the prospect publications than where the Cubs picked them and will pay them is that they were all injured and missed good chunks of the season where a lot of scouts didn't get to see them. The Cubs clearly saw all three of these guys on good days before they were hurt so it'll be interesting to see if they have a better read on their abilities than the general consensus.

Aliya Fowler is awesome. I made one comment to Mark Saxon about that post and got Cardinals fans messaging and quote tweeting me. NOT ALL CARDINALS FANS!
