What you said previously is clear as day so maybe you should go back and read it. The conclusion trwi7 and I drew was spot on based on your comments. Back track and spin all you want dude but it doesn't change what you said and meant.

Exactly, age matters. If a 20 year old is tearing up AAA, every evaluator is going to be more impressed than if a 26 year old is doing it. Wander Franco isn't the best prospect in baseball because he's hitting .341/.410/.560 between A and A+. He's the best prospect in baseball because he's hitting that well (in addition to being an average at worst defender at the most premium defensive position) as an 18 year old. And putting too much stock in a small sample size of anyone's minor league performance at any level and age is foolhardy, particularly when there is a larger track record tied to a prospect or player that indicates they aren't likely to be as good as a two month stretch of at bats indicates. Guys like Diaz and Harrison have been pretty good this year, but both are coming off relatively poor 2018's, and neither were ever considered even top 25-ish prospects even during their best stretches. And it's not like either are 18 years old. Including wander franco in this conversation to make a point is pointless. This right here proves you don't get it and most likely never will because you're actively choosing to not understand reality. What's pointless is essentially saying that one needs to be a Top 25 overall prospect at some point to validate their success.

There's a huge difference between a just turned 23 year old putting up big numbers in AAA than an almost 30 year old. Maybe but also maybe not. Time will tell on that one. No, it won't. Age matters as well as position (ie catchers typically take longer to develop than other positions given the defensive side of that role). Diaz is a bat first ex-top 100 prospect who's always had the offensive upside of an AS at the 2b spot. Saladino, like Perez, is what he is. In saying that, not all 25th man players are created equal. AAA offense is up across the board this year but that doesn't mean every player is overachieving.
