I've given you alot of shit about Utah State and whatnot for fun, but Vigil is going to be a stud I think. He does everything exactly the way it is supposed to be done, there really isn't a hole in his game that sticks out. He's very close to the prospect Bobby Wagner was. He's not quite as explosive or as fast over a long distance but he's stronger in his upper half and he's just as fast in a 10-yard window. My honest feeling is that Vigil goes 3rd or 4th round and not the 6th-7th he's rated, but if KC could snag him in round 5 then great.

Yeah, I love Vigil, especially playing next to DJ in this system. And opposed to Anthony, Vigil is a self-motivating team leader. (If I remember correctly, Anthony actually lost his starting position last season or the season before at one point for whatever reason.) And Vigil compiled those insane statistics without anybody else around him other than his brother.
Like I said, after he ran a 4.6 at his Pro Day and had 18 or so teams there to basically watch him alone, he might go as early as the third. His athleticism, production, leadership, fundamentals and measurables are as good individually as anybody in the draft at his position and when you combine those (and understand that he's a complete player with no/few holes), I think he's arguably the best MLB prospect in the 2015 draft.
