Eh that's kinda forcing it, but that might be the best one that's out there, given the size and bat control. In Albies report (linked to on his FG page), I mention Furcal and Lindor. Albies having plus speed, D and arm alone makes him pretty different than Altuve. Albies is really unique.
Have your long-term impressions of Tyrell Jenkins changed at all?
Have been told by a few scouts that the stuff have been about average this year, so probably down a bit but not considerably so. Should see him soon now that he's at the affiliate closest to my house.
Connor Lien is a player that had 5-tool potential out of high school but took him a while to put together. Do you know anything about him?
Big tools, was on the same HS team with Walker Weickel, Jesse Winker and Nick Gordon. As long as Lien is performing, he's a guy.
Braves DSL OF Randy Ventura is putting up great numbers. Is he a legit prospect?
80 runner, CF fit, lots of contact. Nice low bonus find by the Braves, will obviously have to prove it at higher levels, but has a carrying tool already.
