He may be an A. He is supposedly better than Solar. (I'm a Cubs fan and hate to type that.) Most importantly, he is said to be the fastest player in Cuba. I saw that in an ESPN article that I don't have handy. He was held out of competition a lot because they pretty much knew he wanted to defect at the first opportunity.

Heard Puig may sign by Friday so all depends on when Scott plans on getting the roster out. But yea, more then likely in the FA pool.Comment

Re: Scott's OSFM ZiPS Re-rated Rosters
I wish we had time to go back through and reevaluate all of the prospects from the OSFM roster. Austin Hedges for the Pads is an A potential, if his hitting comes around he could become a good player but I don't think he'll ever be worthy of an A.Comment

Re: Scott's OSFM ZiPS Re-rated Rosters
Kevin Goldstein of Baseball Prospectus has understandably been grilled for scouting details on Twitter, and he gave a quick breakdown of his skills, in which he states: "Physical, plus runner, avg bat, avg power, decent in CF, not a lock to stay there."
However, he also pointed out that while his tools are good, he is not on the same level as Soler, saying he was "good, but not beast tools like Soler."
Still, Soler has as high a ceiling as any prospect in baseball right now, and if Puig is even close to the same class as him, teams will be lining up to take a shot at signing him.
Scout notes on Cuban free agent OF Yasel Puig: Physical, plus runner, avg bat, avg power, decent in CF, not a lock to stay there.
Personally, I've seen very good speed, a great swing, good raw power, decent contact, decent fielding. I think Goldstein is underrating his power a bit. My 'humble' opinion on the 20-80 scale (current, future);
Power; 60, 70
Contact; 40, 50
Speed; 70, 70
Fielding; 50, 50
Arm; 60, 60
He looks very good. I'd give him a mid-to-high B, closer to high. He's not as good as Soler, but the guy can play."Twelve at-bats is a pretty decent sample size." - Eric ByrnesComment

Re: Scott's OSFM ZiPS Re-rated Rosters
I think Heccavarria is a high b. He is going to be a good player. He is having a good year in AAA. In 300 ABs he is 322, 372, 450....4 hr, 53rbi, 5 sb. He is 23 and this is his 2nd full year in American baseball so I wuld project him at 300, 355, 420....10, 55-60, 25 guy as his full season MLB numbers.Comment

.275 AVG
60 RBI (In our lineup, that's possible)
>10 HRs
20 SBs
With his fair share of Gold Gloves.
Ultimate ceiling if he puts it all together; Brandon Phillips at SS, Derek Jeter (Whom I think is overrated)
Realistic Projection; John McDonald with a better bat and glove. Johnny Mac 2.0, so to speak."Twelve at-bats is a pretty decent sample size." - Eric ByrnesComment

Re: Scott's OSFM ZiPS Re-rated Rosters
Only thing I don't agree with is the SBs. The kid has wheels. Or did you not put his baserunning up? He's got speed, that I know.
Agree completely with everything else though. It's hilarious how hyped up about him some Jays fans are. Pure entertainment."Twelve at-bats is a pretty decent sample size." - Eric ByrnesComment

Re: Scott's OSFM ZiPS Re-rated Rosters
Speed is high, BR ability is low. Its interesting how he attempted to steal 30+ bases last year and now he's on pace for ~ 15 attempts. Assuming Las Vegas coaches just aren't giving him the green light, which makes no sense to me as the only way he can improve is if he works on it in in game situations. No idea how it will play out in the majors so I figured to be conservative with it is better.Comment

Re: Scott's OSFM ZiPS Re-rated Rosters
He's not suppose to be better than Solar. From what I've heard though, he is suppose to be one of the fastest players in the game. Good possibly great prospect, but remember, many people have said the Cubs farm system would go from, 22 I think to around 12-14. Solar would've been a 1st round-supplemental round pick. Although, this guy is kind of unknown, and just popped up out of no where.
He's a very good prospect, but not better than Soler."Twelve at-bats is a pretty decent sample size." - Eric ByrnesComment
