or top 5 outfielders?

top 5 overall seems to be pushing it unless you’re not counting Meija since he’s not a prospect, and I think the reason he’s not playing cf is because he’s going to fill out and slow down, which is going to hurt his prospect status some too since they expect it to have a major effect on his speed.

If he keeps improving his BB and K rates and starts to hit for more power, then he can rank higher. If not, he’ll be a Francoeur-type who bashes the ball in BP practices but can’t do that in the game.

About his speed, I fear he falls in love with it and then wants to be a Ichiro Castillo type (singles+walks). Like getting to the 1B for the sole purpose of increasing his SB opportunities. Though this is just speculation on my part.

he’ll be ranked pretty high. Maybe not top 5 but certainly top 10. Think about it…a 19 year old speedy OFer hitting with authority in the SAL, showing solid plate discipline skills and with room to grow to add power…I’d say that’s a solid prospect. Add in the fact that he’s supposedly got a solid defensive skillset whether in RF or CF and you’re looking at the makings of a potential breakout prospect in the system. I like his mix of skills…if he can continue to improve on the plate discipline and add in some power, he’ll be a good one. I remember he was hyped as a toolsy guy when he was signed a couple of years back. Hopefully he’s starting to grow into some of those tools now.
