Posted April 30Apr 30 Andrew salas.17 and looks like aan among buys in Jupiter. He has moved above white meyer etc. this guy is the guy we need to be a superstar. Will be top 10 in baseball soon. Jackson chourio, junior caminero potential. Still 4 years away but this is our future
April 30Apr 30 2 extra base hits in 60 plate appearances is a “aan among buys”? Looking forward to watching him develop, but unsurprisingly this is a bit hyperbolic.
May 1May 1 Think he needs to show some power before reaching top 10 status?I realize at 17 a lack of power is completely understandable and there's projection but are there other top 10 prospect comps without any proven power output? Edited May 1May 1 by WillyumKeef
May 1May 1 Last time we had a talented young Salas he turned out to be meh.And people lost their minds when we included him for Arraez lol
May 2May 2 Look what he’s doing at 17 in low A is insane. On base machine, speed, and projectable above average/great defense in the infield is incredibly valuable. Basically a more productive version of Caba while 2 years younger. But he needs some projectable power before he’s considered our top prospect. Maybe he grows into his 6’2 frame and shows some pop. If he does that he can be considered a truly elite prospect. To be seen. It’s possible

I've heard some call Caba the best shortstop glove in the minors.

May 5May 5 Looked at all the other prospects taken in the same international class as Salas and not one has posted any stats yet. Theyre all most likely to start in rookie or DSL later on.For Salas to be dominating low A already is pretty wild
