    No way Ruiz will amount to anything at 3rd base. Ruiz can't hit lefties to save his life, has little power, strikes out a ton and below average range in the field.

    Whoever suggested Ruiz was polarizing was apparently right. Some folks think Ruiz could at least be an acceptable solution at third, while Pugfan would beg to differ rather strongly.

    Not a fan of Ruiz at all but I've been wrong many times before. Hope he proves me wrong like Prado did.

    Ruiz and Touki are probably our most polarizing.

    Personally, I love Touki and think Ruiz is destined to never be much of anything.

    Dustin Peterson and Touki are our most polarizing. Ruiz seems more like an after thought by people around here.

    Until Albies was promoted, Ruiz was the youngest position player in the International League. His ceiling likely isn't high, but I think it's too early to dismiss him.
