Me, too.

I like his glove, but his arm isn't as good as Janish's. Few ever have been at that spot. His range and athleticism at the SS spot is better, but only by a step.

His bat is much better, but that's damning with faint praise.

Were I a betting man, I'd insist his career OPS doesn't climb above 720.

Whether that's a Top 100 prospect or not, I have no clue.
