Can you match these MLB stars to their Minor League scouting reports?

By Ben Cosman

We're in the thick of the Hot Stove season, which means stars and prospects are swapping teams in a flurry of deals. Fans are rushing to their computers to get the lowdown on their teams' newest farmhands and dreaming of championships to come. The report on Yoan Moncada, MLB's No. 1 prospect and new White Sox Minor Leaguer, for example, reads:
"Few middle infielders can match Moncada's huge offensive ceiling, which earns him comparisons to Robinson Cano with more speed."
Yeah, we're excited.
But do you know what people were saying about your current favorite MLB stars when they were still just top prospects in MiLB? Using MLB Pipeline's archives, we pulled quotes from the scouting reports of some of MLB's top young talent.
