Its early, but the way-too-early opinion from scouts in spring is that he looks like a terrific prospect who is healthy, should have been drafted higher, and could progress really fast.

I took shit for mentioning this on the Scout board from a few guys, but his scouting report from the Cape from a few guys was basically David Price with a better breaking ball.
One guy used exactly that language. I saw a few compare him to Price because of his height, velocity, and fastball command.
