I'm with you on that too, Fans got to disregard all GCL and DSL hoopla. It starts in Single A. I get it was 18, and throwing hard, and had good stuff against lesser competition. Full season in the Minors best way to evaluate.
Best way to evaluate GCL and DSL Prospects is if they stay in those leagues for 1 year, and move quickly to Single A.
Espinoza did, and struggled in Single A Ball. Maybe injury, I don't know.
Urias of the Dodgers had no problem, moving quickly through their system, almost exact same situation. Every level he dominated, and he might be younger.
I will say TJS hurt him, Padres waited to long to have it. He had it last August, think he was injured last May. Basically done for this year.
Urias is older.
