I know this happened a couple of weeks ago, but I noticed that Manuel Margot had been passed by both Deven Marrero and Wendell Rijo. Now, I like Marrero and if he can hit at all (as he has this year) he's obviously a solid major leaguer. Rijo has also obviously started great. However, I was under the impression that Margot had a really high ceiling with great tools. Given that Margot has started so well, by keeping his strikeout rate under control while showing increased power, it surprised me to see him passed. Is this a case of me having an incorrect impression of Margot or of Rijo impressing way more than I thought, or something else?

Mike can answer for the site, but I'd guess it has more to do with Rijo and Marrero than Margot. I know my personal valuations of those two have gone up quite a bit in the early going.

Coyle is up into the top 20, from 20-something, but not mentioned above. My take is that he has great bat skills, but tries too hard to prove he can hit HR's, that ultimately takes a toll on the body, resulting in poor BA after a hard slugging streak. I think the same principle applies to other little guys. High BA/OBP from defensive positions has just as much as slugging from the corner OF, so I hope somebody stresses this to Coyle.

Thanks, Chavo and Mike. Would Margot still be considered to have a higher ceiling than Rijo and Marrero?

Yes, in terms of ceiling I would say Margot, Marrero, Rijo. But Marrero is not far off from Margot, and has a much better chance of reaching ceiling.
Frankly, Rijo looked better in ST than Margot to me, and has played better over the first month of the season. But like you said, overall ceiling is higher for Margot. I could see the argument both ways, and it could continue to be a coin flip for overall ranking for a little while.
