There's a real chance Soler is the best hitter out of all the prospects. His power is a little below Baez/Bryant levels, but he doesn't have their K issues and still takes his walks.

Its absurd that he was barely a top 50 prospect on lists this year.

I fully expect Soler to end up the better hitter between Bryant, Baez, Soler and Rizzo. He might not end up being the most valuable, due to his position, but he is going to be special. Alcantara, Baez and Soler are here. Bryant and Russell will be up next year. Some player(s) will probably get moved this off-season for pitching or an established big time bat, like Giancarlo Stanton, to consolidate assets. Having Bryant, Baez, Castro, Soler, Rizzo, Russell, Schwarber, McKinney, Almora, Alcantara, Vogelbach and others doesn't do you a lot of good when several of them are not going to have anywhere to play.

I'm really excited to see what they do this off-season.
