Take aways.
-Colt is legit, but
-No idea what scouts are thinking about Laz. Outside of him nuking the ball I really don’t get the Alvarez comp. He’s nowhere near as big as what I thought. And he ran the bases and played the field totally fine.
-Arroyo, not sure how he does it cause man he is small. Played solid defense, good at the plate just solid. He looked like the best of the 3 only cause the other team gave Colt 3 decent pitches.

But it is just his legs. Dude is literally around 6’3, cause he came and talked to this dude next to me. He has huge tree trunks but IMO his body is Griffey, where it is all legs where it looks natural but like he has never done a dumbbell curl in his life. But he fouled a ball off of his ankle, walked, then easily made it 1B to 3B. (That park sucks for scouting which is a different topic). He played a ball off the wall easily and threw a guy out. He doesn’t have a cannon but it is as good as any OF the M’s have. All I am saying IMO the Alvarez comparison is just strict projection of how he may end up, not who he is. (And a positive note for me, the dude next to me asked if I was a scout even though I had my son next to me)
My projection of Arroyo, especially after watching him, is Altuve. Doubt he will end up with the same production but he is the same body type and his game was Altuve esque. There is no scientific way he plays the way he does with his size. I am short but I am bigger than he is.
Colt IMO is Kelenic, hopefully good Kelenic. He is a SS not a 3B…maybe 2B but his instincts aren’t there as a 3B. But Seager wasn’t a 3B and became good so possibly but I don’t think he can be rushed through the system as a 3B. Several foul balls that he wasn’t remotely close to, and his one ground ball he just looked awkward as F taking it…but like I said the field is terrible with being all turf.
One dude who isn’t mentioned that I was actually impressed with is Axel Sanchez. IMO he could be normal JP Crawford, not 23 JP but normal JP.

Yes I thought that was what we were talking about. His projection based on body and game is Alvarez. Not that he is or will be him, but his tools remind scout of Alvarez.
Good to know. I have never seen him play on TV that I recall so no way to compare. That is why I appreciate the eye test from someone that knows the game.
Another good to know. People think it is easy to go from SS to 3B because of athleticism, but it takes a special person to make that switch. A lot faster coming at you at 3B and you have have some stones to play there.
I was into him I think two years back but maybe it was last year, but he seems to disappear amongst reports.I figured he washed out of the projection game. Glad to hear he still has something.
Great report scout.

I guess I just don’t get the projection. He has the power that Alvarez has but I think his overall game is more than a DH. Maybe he will grow a little bit and gain a crap load of weight. I just think projecting him to lose skills is odd to me. And I was just really impressed that he fouled a ball off his foot then 1st to 3rd with easeYes I thought that was what we were talking about.

I was just shocked how little Arroyo is. He hit the ball hard and played solid defense. But at that field it’s hard to tell cause it’s turf and everything is an easy hop.
Maybe it was just the game I was at, but he just didn’t have the instincts. Not at all saying 3B is easy but there is a skill that not everyone has. He made the easy play hit to him but like I said there were a couple of foul balls that he either should’ve caught or at least got close to it. Would be interesting to see him at 2B but IMO if he is going to play 3B then he shouldn’t play another position until he is MLB ready.
Kind of the same with me. He’s old for Everett so obviously there is something but he had a really good game offensively and defensively.
If Everett wasn’t so freaking far away I’d go again. Really fun stadium, atmosphere and the players are basically forced to sign autographs before they can get to the stadium, but I truly don’t understand how lefties don’t hit more home runs cause the fence is really short both distance and height
