Juan Soto - .366/.476/.812 10 HR, 38 RBI, 1.288 OPS

He's my "far too early" pick for Minor League player of the year at this point.

Time to give the kid a promotion to double-A. I believe he's got a far bigger ceiling than Robles so seeing him in the top 3 (maybe even 1st) when mid-season rankings are released would not surprise me. Robles may be a more well rounded player (better speed & defense) but Soto has plus power, the one tool that Robles is lacking.
