I know it is very early, but when does Dalbec jump past Chavis and become the #3 3B prospect after Moncada and Devers?

I think Dubon has edged solidly into 8th for me. His drop in walk rate would be concerning if the contact rate wasn't staying so awesome and the power wasn't showing a bit more. We've seen high-OBP/low-power types excel at Salem and then flame out at upper levels, but his production at Portland is just really impressive. Of everyone in the group from eight and below, he seems to have the highest upside among players who I'm sure are going to make it to the majors in some capacity. It seems likely at this point that he can be at utility man, and not at all impossible that he's a second-division starter. As far as his rankings, I think there's a better chance that he's a starter than Hernandez without much different of a downside, and a much, much lower chance that he busts than Basabe.
Two weeks ago I wouldn't have thought there was much chance of it, but I wonder if they push him to Pawtucket to start off next year?
