4 months younger than Davidson, and his performance at the same level isn't that much better.

I don't get the hype for Devers at all.
No, definitely not. Just making the correction. And the fact that they're putting up similar numbers but most of us are not extremely excited about Davidson is either good news for Davidson or bad news for Devers.

I think we tend to underrate Davidson a bit. I've seen him as more of a KJ guy than an impact bat, but KJ has had a pretty solid career.
The difference is KJ didn't srike struck out at the rate Davidson does. KJ was more in the 20% to 25% range.
Since I'm feeling generous today I will share my top secret expected surplus value chart of prospect value by ranking:
1-3 10 wins
4-8 9 wins
9-14 8 wins
15-25 7 wins
26-50 6 wins
During his remaining years of contractual control, my estimate of Teheran's surplus value is 10 wins. I want to win any trade for Teheran. To be precise, I want a return worth 13 wins. Not a crazy overpay like Shelby Miller. But I am looking to win. By my value chart, Benintendi plus Devers is 15 wins. I would definitely go for that. But realistically, we would have to add a bit back to make that one happen.
I think I'm the biggest Devers fan on this board. He started out really slow, but he has hit really well over the last month or two. He's also 19 years old for a few more months. We talk about pushing Braxton Davidson by putting him at High A, but Devers is nine months younger than him. Every prospect writer I've read is putting a plus hit tool and plus power on him, and they haven't backed off at all with his struggles.
