Jimenez has been ridiculous and Zavala not too much less. I think Collins has benefited from the additions of Jimenez and Zavala as well. Definitely think all three should be in Birmingham to start the '18 season.

 

I hope they send Jimenez to the AFL. With a good performance he could be #1 overall IMO.

His numbers have actually gotten better with his promotion. Unreal.

 

That does happen with certain prospects from time to time. Usually it's from high A to AA though.

This kid is unreal. Hahn had a quote on him today:

I haven't seen him defensively, so I don't know how well he'd play overall, but I really think he'd be just fine in the majors right now. Almost think of how Miguel Cabrera impacted that 2003 season and that's what I think Eloy would do in the majors right now. Obviously calling him up would be very, very dumb for so many reasons, but he's a monster.

A potential 70/70 hit and power tool, there is a lot to be excited about Jimenez. I don't want to jinx it but I think he may be our safest prospect in the system.

 

I'm not sure Jimenez has a potential 70 hit tool. Power? Absolutely, but most scouts seem to think Jimenez will be an above average hitter in the 55/60 grade realm. 70 hit and 70 power = unreal

 

I could see Jimenez being a similar player to Giancarlo Stanton at ceiling, which is a very good player.

Nelson Cruz/Stanton are probably the best comps out there...

The power came later in the career of Cruz, as he didn't start really hitting home runs until age 28. I think Jimenez has the potential to be a 30+ home run threat in the next 2-3 season at the mlb level if he continues to improve like he has.

 

The scary thing is that I don't think he would embarrass himself if he were thrown into the MLB right now. As long as he stays healthy we are looking at a middle of the order bat.

I actually saw an article where a scout comped him to Miggy.
