oldsox Posted February 12, 2020 Share Posted February 12, 2020 Last year Yolbert Sanchez and Ben Bailey were teammates in the DSL. Bailey had vastly superior numbers. Bailey was 17, Sanchez was 22. Naturally, Sanchez is ranked 12 spots higher than Bailey. Every other team would love to get their hands on Bailey; Sanchez, not so much. I don't get it. Bailey should be Top Ten material, or at least those two should be switched. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's starting in Kannapolis and could be a major leaguer pretty quickly due to his defensive prowess. Benyamin Bailey is an interesting story as a $35K signing out of Panama. Shortstop is a more important position. If you told me that Bailey ends up ahead of Yolbert on the midseason list, I wouldn't be that surprised. It's not time for that yet though. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quin Posted February 12, 2020 Share Posted February 12, 2020 Nice to see the jump for Thompson and Dalquist - it'll be fun to follow them and Vera once he's in the organization. Now they just need to find a highly touted LHP on the LatAm market Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quin Posted February 12, 2020 Share Posted February 12, 2020 Speaking of Vera, this shit ain't subtle. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bmags Posted February 13, 2020 Share Posted February 13, 2020 I don’t want to hate on Yolbert forever but yeah I’d put a small bet that he doesn’t offensively outproduce Mendick at any full season level Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's a better defender though and is faster. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SoxAce Posted February 13, 2020 Share Posted February 13, 2020 Yolbert getting a bit underrated by some I see. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’d be in my 25-35 range. There are a number of guys above him that get more points from me for proximity/likelihood to majors and more promise. It is just very hard to square his production in Cuba, very bland production in DSL whole way older than the pitchers, with a guy who will find enough offense for me to care about his defense. Thats about where Beard would be for me, so 27/28. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
