The teens:
Buxton: .240/.335/.445/.780 in rookie ball, 18/40 batting eye
Correa: .260/.305/.400/.705 in rookie ball, 12/44 eye
Dahl: .370/.415/.500/1.015 in rookie ball (told you), 18/37 eye
Almora: .335/.345/.490/.835 in rookie/short season, 2/11 eye
The college guy:
Zunino: .380/.475/.755/.1.230 in short-season and AA, 22/29 eye
Zunino is cheating a bit because Everett was well below his capabilities - the brass just wanted him near Seattle so they could see him in person before bumping him up the ladder and making decisions based on his presence in the org.
Of course, Dahl is cheating some by playing in Grand Junction (though he's killing it on the road too). Regardless, Zunino is making it VERY hard to consider him on the lesser level of highly-drafted catchers.
I've always thought Zunino is better than Tony Sanchez, but Sanchez still rocked short-season A ball (.975 OPS). Zunino is running laps around that right now. I had Zunino pegged as an okay average, good power, decent walk, decent defense catcher. I said at draft time my comp was Charles Johnson or Matt Wieters, and I'm not being convinced off that mark just yet - Wieters demolished the minors to the tune of a 1.055 OPS in A+ and AA, but has just been a 100 OPS+ hitter in the bigs.
But if Zunino wants to continue to show me he's more Posey/Konerko (or yes, Gary Carter) than Johnson/Wieters I would LOVE that. And right now, it's hard to pick one of the teens over him (although I'm proud of the early start for my boy Dahl). Zduriencik looks awfully prescient to be on Zunino as hard as he was, and certainly it wasn't because he was swayed by his old friend, Mike's dad.
Right now Zunino's got the arrow pointing way up, and in a redraft would be the #1 pick. Gotta love it - that's Jack's calling card, getting the #1 or 2 pick in almost every re-draft. Glad it's followed him here.
