Once his agent recieved the offer from the Yanks, he pretty much yanked him from the market, only allowing him to showcase his talent by hitting BP and not allowing him to practice catch with full gear.

I remember they said "plus plus power and the chance for four plus tools". A comparison to Wieters is absurd, but in discussion of his absolute ceiling (which is the context in which PP made the comparison), its not that absurd. http://www.baseballprospectus.com/article.php?articleid=8950 Regarding Sanchez, other sites, such as BP, have had good things to say about him.

Cop out? not saying there were alterior motives to rank a farm so much lower after jackson and teh Viz were traded.

He said that he has a chance to compare favorably to Matt Wieters. I retract everything I've said, let the beating commence immediately. BTW – I just read what Patrick actually said.

If Slade, Sanchez, Ramirez, Warren, and Banuelos (and more that I'm forgetting about I'm sure), all have good years (a big if, but not a huge if), then they should all be top 100 prospects next year. The 2011 Yanks minor league system could easily be as strong as the 2010 Sox minor league system.

The best way to describe sanchez is as he is described above: a catcher with great offensive and defensive tools - he has drool-worthy promise, and is young enough that it is not yet just a pipe dream for him to materialize into an absolute stud prospect. That does not, however, mean that he has already materialized into a stud prospect. it’s just a ridiculous comparison. there are almost no similarities between the two players other than that they could become excellent catchers, and even that is quite skewed because at this point the chances of Sanchez being an excellent MLB catcher are wayyyy lower than the chances of weiters becoming an excellent MLB catcher.
