Sounds like he's meant to be a power shortstop but I'm not sure what his big league projections are. I know Bailey's still mad young but he seems to be a total failed prospect.

Here's Cozart's numbers on baseball-reference.

And an article on some Reds prospect site I found via google...

I don't know much about him outside of the numbers any amatuer analyst can find, but he's already in his 20s, and he's still in AAA. While I'm sure you could find a reason for that, I can;t imagine why he wouldn't be given a shot over Yanish and Renteria at this point. I wonder how much faith they have in him.

I think if Alderson trades Reyes, it will be a blockbuster type move, where he rakes in at least 2 to 3 prospects who can fill in some holes.
