For the second year in a row, the top prospect coming over from the DSL, has had some trouble adjusting to the GCL. Last year, we saw Michael de la Cruz really struggle with the jump, though he had multiple injuries and a tough time being 17 years old and away from home for the first time. This year, Edison Lantigua is 18 and having trouble at the plate. He too has dealt with injuries, missing time at the start of the year, then injuring his thumb after a few games. Both these players dealt with injury problems, but is it too easy to just use that as an excuse, or has the gap widened between the talent in the DSL and GCL?
