Let me mindlessly dismiss him with, this is exactly the #2 pick of a scout trying to be clever.   We mean it in a good way.
If he were ARod, or even B.J. Upton, he'd have been identified as such a looooooong time ago, woulda been the dominant #1 long since past.
Little bitty teenage shortstop, supposed to have projectable power, ooooh don't that glove look sweet, look how perfect my clipboard looks, nobody else understands him but us .... so let's pass on Edgar Martinez / David Wright who has six months to the cleanup spot in Safeco.

Admittedly not knowing much about it, just going by templates and the various scraps of evidence around the crime scene, you'd have to step very lively to get me to take Lindor at the #7 overall.
At number two?  With Rendon, Cole, and Bauer in this *daft*?

Geoff Baker has a lot of wit and wisdom he doesn't get credited for.
He notes that when you get a consensus 1-2, they get "stale" and folks start finding reasons to push other people.  Keeps the discussion fresh.
M's don't need a "fresh" pick - just the right one.
