They look pretty good to me. Mets fans eager to see Reyes rushed should not be expecting huge offense from this kid yet. If he develops as scouts seem to think, he may develop more power, but as I have said before I am a big believer in going by what a guy has done, not how they hope he grows/matures.
These guys are actually pretty similar, though Phillips certainly has more power potential. Neither have shown an inclination to draw a heck of a lot of walks either. Odds are that both will have solid careers though, with Phillips more of an immediate help.
Thoughts, comments, questions, whatever fire away. More guys you want me to run through, let me know. I need to see from more prospects, but from this limited sample I like it.
