He was pretty impressive at Delmarva. I would guess with his advanced hitting approach, they’ll start him out at Aberdeen.

I like him. Just don’t see how he’s above Haskins or Watson.

I'm also surprised that he popped above Haskin, but the write-up makes the case very well. 

I just can't believe that profile is written for our #27 prospect. That's incredibly positive.

They are very similar prospects and at this point, don't get too caught up in the rankings. Haskins is next at #29. They basically have the same profile for me as 4th outfielders but I just like the plate discipline better for Williams. 

Watson for me has huge holes in his swing and can't hit anything offspeed. Look at his numbers at Bowie once the league figured him out. He'll hurt a fastball though, but he won't see many if he can't show that he can hit them.
