I know HS players are all about projectable skills as they get older and stronger, but it still boggles my mind that he basically hit no homers in HS. Isn't this just a little over a year since his HS graduation? Check out Twins Daily. Article on Lewis/ETA Some think next year, comps starting to switch to Correa. Next year? WOW! How many minor league steps is it from High A to the Majors? What about the Defense? He is really committing a LOT of errors in the minors, but less recently it seems. If he rakes at AA, maybe mid-late next year Some believe he'll pass Gordon soon, because Gordon has much less pop in the bat. I definitely like him much better than banjo hitting Gordon. Lewis needs to improve his defense though and could still eventually be an OF. Hopefully he stays at SS. I think pick 1 versus 5th can be huge.....Gordon has the family pedigree so don't give up on him too quick.
