BA will rank Michael higher because he's a 1st round pick.

That combined with the information they are fed from the Twins organization and from other coaches in the league. BA is not going to do rankings solely on the status of the player when they entered the system.

Why do you think that? They are the same age and Santana clearly outperformed him in an entire year's worth of playing time.

From the information that I have gathered from other sources, including tools and defensive reports. I have not seen either play and I am hesitant to judge solely on stat lines. Overall I am willing to give Michael more than one season before I jump to any significant conclusion on him, I still think he has a legit shot at being an everyday player.

According to reputable and always spot on bleacherreport.com, Michael is a bust. Put a fork in him, he's done.
