I'm looking forward to a more detailed report on his defense. I don't know if these tweets (Speier and Cundall) mean "Anthony might actually stick at CF, contra expectations" or "Anthony looks like a plus defender in CF." If it's the former, that's good; if it's the latter then I think he's challenging Mayer for #1 prospect in the system status.

Extremely small sample size so probably shouldn't put a ton of stock into it but obviously so far so good for Anthony at AA. I think I'd put Anthony above Mayer IF as you said the reports on his defense indicate he looks like a plus defender in CF. It'd still be more of a 1A to 1B type of scenario because I'm just as bullish on Mayer as I have been since last year but that just goes to show you how dang good this season has gone for Anthony.

Just came here to post the same musings. I know this has been bandied about elsewhere in more macro threads about long term lineups but I can't help but think about our studs (Anthony, Mayer and Teel) and how lefty heavy they are...adding them to Devers, Casas, Masa. Hope that(^) doesn't get us too far off track

So he doesn’t chase pitches out of the zone, swings at strikes, makes contact when swinging and hits the ball hard when making contact…AND he plays above average defense in CF. He’s 6 months younger than Jackson Holiday.

He’s 6 months younger than Jackson Holiday. His numbers improving as he climbed up the ladder is wild to me Special, special kid. Getting to a point where he’s maybe the guy I’m most hyped about since He Who Must Not Be Named
