Imagine you had a high draft pick, and the best players available were a high school catcher and a 20 year old college 2B. Your scouting budget for both is $14.

The 2B is a sure bet to reach 90-95 power, and he's got good (~80 projected) base-stealing and contact ratings tha he'll probably reach. He'll be a
decent defender, aside from arm strength. But his splits are underwhelming - no more than 60/70 vL/vR. Durability will be in the high 70s.

The catcher doesn't have as much power, only projected to the mid 70s. And his contact rating will top out in the low 60s. But he is a lefty and could reach 90+ vR (though he'd need to add about 30 points to ge there). He should be a plus defender with a PC of 80-90 and a good arm. Also, he's projected to add 35 points of durability, which would put him near 90. Not sure if he can actually reach that.

70 PWR, 90 vR, AND 85 PC on a catcher with 90 DUR?  Where do I sign up?  His EYE isn't like 0 or anything?

He has a decent eye too. I guess my only worry about the catcher is that he won't reach the vR and the dur ratings. I'm not sure how much a high school player can be expected to improve in those categories.
