Actually like Perez more, but seems Sanchez has a better shot here, and I like him much more than Sands.

This seems pretty easy to me

Sanchez is more MLB ready than Perez, and I’m not sure there is much difference in their ceilings. Sands has the best bat, but provides little defensive value and has the lowest floor because of it. I’d rank these three as Sanchez, Sands, Perez, but the last two are still about 6-7 spots behind Sanchez on my hitters list at least.

Mine's not anywhere near that close

I have Sanchez about 40 spots ahead of Carlos Perez, even more between him and Sands.

nah

Perez has the lowest floor. young catchers, [unless they are truly magnificent or truly athletic enough to switch positions], always have the best possibility of failing or becoming below-average players. heck, I’d almost argue that Sanchez has the lowest floor. simply because they are propped up by the strength of their position, and it being the hardest position to master, have a much greater chance of failing.

Sands has huge power and a good swing/approach. he has the lowest floor, and those of you voting for Sanchez and Perez are darn near predicting that Sands ends up near his floor.

eck

“I’d almost argue that Sanchez has” … a lower floor than Sands, and possibly Perez, because he is older and more tied to his position.
