+1
A good season next year could possibly vault him into one of the best catching prospects in the game, however.

Easily
He is a strong athlete with the potential to be a solid starting catcher, which is hard to find. He is athletic enough to move to third or RF instead of first if he has to move, but his D gets solid marks.
The other guys, while having great arms, are are mostly relief prospects, not only does that dramatically reduce their upside but also makes them much more volitile.
Tucker at least is young, has great stuff and has the some potential still to be a middle of the rotation starter, which seperates him some from that group.
Roemer was a hell of a college pitcher, a real bulldog - if a bit of a prick, but I don't see him having the stuff to be anything more than a strike-thrower type as a big league pitcher
Hicks is a solid glove with some bat, but I don't really see him being any kind of a standout.
If we are talking about most upside, I don't see how it is not Donaldson. Quality catchers are rare
