Like, is this a serious ****ing question? Do you not know how to look up prospect rankings? Do you literally not know players like Corbin Carroll and Gunnar Henderson?

Because it's a terrible comparison - EDLC is like a 60 FV type of prospect - I'm not even sure if he's a top-20 prospect in the last 10 years. Wemby is a generational prospect, literally being compared to the likes of Kareem & Lebron The only way to make them comparable is to bring Wemby down to like a standard lottery pick, which is a super fringe opinion and one that makes no sense to discuss here.

The last prospect that appeared with this type of skillz perhaps was Puig, with raw physical abilities better than Mays or Mantle, who most of us rightly analyzed would not actually become a star.
You can't possibly be following baseball at all if you think the last prospect that had this type of "skillz" was Puig. I mean, seriously, WTF? There's been so many prospects better than EDLC. I mean players like Wander Franco, Tatis Jr, Ohtani, Ronald Acuna Jr, Vlad Jr and more recently Corbin Carroll, Adley Rutschman and Gunnar Henderson were all more highly regarded than EDLC. And that's just position players (well Ohtani aside).

At least some approach the level where it isn't just pure inanity to be talking like that. Elly hasn't, not quite, lol. The mind matters hugely in what the prospect becomes, especially the mega-prospect. Jury out on Elly and Wemby in this regard.
What the **** are you blabbering about here?
