Baseball America ranked Lewis No. 4 and Rizzo No. 40, and M's nabbed them at No. 11 and No. 50.  FWIW.

It's not Joe Rizzo's fault, but we did draft a high school 3B named Joe in the 2nd round not long ago (Joe DeCarlo) so I'll probably always associate those two.  DeCarlo is just now putting up an OPS over .800 (.818) for the first time ever, at age 22 in High-A Bakersfield.  So not really on "prospect" track.  But like I said, that's got nothing to do with Rizzo other than their similar name, position and draft spot.

Here's a super slo-mo analysis of Lewis' swing with a positive conclusion:
