Arencibia is criminally underrated here, IMO.

I cannot believe Sickels gave him a C and that might be the worst grade I've seen from him all off-season....this coming from a guy who isn't terribly enamored with Arencibia's skillset.

Arencibia's walk rate rose by 100%, he was terribly unlucky and his IsoP was over .200. The walks and strikeouts overall are pretty meh but IMO it's foolish to knock his progress down, IMO. He quickly went from over to underrated.

[CaliforniaGoldSox]

Agreed on Arencibia. I think he's a solid B-

My system has taken a sizable hit with graduations, and certainly pales in comparison to years past, but I really like my mix of high floor
and high ceiling types. I think a lot of my C+ types are movers. Suppose we'll see in a year.

In all honesty, I don't see a lot of movers at the C+ level beyond Ynoa, Brown and Viciedo. The rest seem to me more like high floor types than anything.

I think a lot of the B and B- grades are kind of generous, too. I see Mitchell and Tabata as B- types, and Sanchez is kind of a boring B. I feel similarly about Donaldson, Boxberger and Rodriguez at the B- level, too. I think Rodriguez is the most interesting but he's a C+ right now, IMO.

I think I'd have Arencibia third in your system behind Jennings and Ynoa, actually.
