Made or Pena?

Just curious for those who follow the minor league system closely — are you higher on Made, or Pena, and why? If both eventually make it to the bigs with the Brewers, where do you see them ending up? Pena at 2B and Made at SS?

Not an expert but I think many are higher on Made because of the tools- he has some serious exit velocity and power potential and plays a very good if not great defense. He has adjusted to better pitching but has had some issues with Ks this year but not more than any young player and he is so young. So the ceiling is higher.

Pena is a good defender but prone to more gaffes, and has a better hit tool with a great swing but maybe not the power potential, but he has wheels . 

I love both for those reasons. If they do progress and stay healthy and make it to Milwaukee I see Made at SS or 3B if he has to move for a Pratt (or Ortiz/Turang who can potentially play elite SS defense). Peña I see at 2B, or maybe even 3B but he can cover SS and I suspect even CF but that’s a projection since I’m not sure he’s done that.

Man in 2023 I remember dreaming on Miz and Chourio and hoping they succeed. Both on the IL right now but yeah they are ok. I would love to dream on these two young players in 2-3 years from now.
