Marte by a hair. His approach at the plate is impressive for his age, and I think he can stick at 3B.
I’d by happy with a poor-man’s Manny Machado, would be totally fine with Machado 2.0.
I say 3 days for the top 10, then 2 days for the rest.
Also, EDLC is the obvious choice here.

I went with Marte over EDLC. It could be that I trust the Mariners scouts over the Reds scouts. Or I’m just having trouble getting past the thought that we’re all becoming so intoxicated by EDLC’s highlight films.
EDLC’s K rates and especially his unsustainable BABIP numbers, are really tempering my excitement.

I vote EDLC simply for that HR he lost in the stratosphere earlier in the year.
That "easy" power is scary.
I find it interesting as to who will settle in at SS and 3B and who gets the PTBNL (position to be named later).
Nothing better, IMO, than left-handed power: EDLC.

Not sure if it’s been mentioned anywhere but EDLC has moved into the #6 slot on Fangraphs’ The Board. Marte is 12 I believe.
