You’ve said a few times that you consider amongst the ss prospects we have as the floor option. I gotta disagree. I think given the profile when they came in he could be somewhat Austin Riley-lite with the offensive profile with a plus glove. But the approach has a long way to go. That sounds like a ceiling option to me.

Very good stuff as a whole though. I really like it when you do this kind of deep dive on a single interesting player.

Thanks! The floor comment was moreso 'if I had to pick one guy between him and Gil to make the majors, who would it be' and that's why I said Lodise. It's a more certain floor, I guess, with a ceiling that's still high but maybe not quite as five-tool as Gil if he were to hit on everything

How did you get that Lodise stat card?
