You’ve gotten good advice above. Assume you are using the “old school” ratings on a 20-80 scale? Quero is a guy who projects as at least a part-time DH, if the hitting tool develops, given the low defensive ceiling at catcher (although his arm is above average). At 19, he would already be one of t he youngest players at AA. Give him a year there (if he is not overwhelmed, in which case A+ would be an option), and then see what your scout says. [He may surprise and increase those defensive numbers, or he may not be able to hit AA pitchers….]

With O’Hoppe I’m partial, because I’m a Phils fan, and he was a top prospect. I know his all-around game is sound. He’s solid if not exceptional behind the plate. I’m not crazy about skipping AAA (except for a cup of coffee), but he is probably ready to be a MLB backup - which is probably his ceiling, honestly. Give him a couple of seasons until Quero (we hope) is ready.
