Mikey White and Richie Martin at BP

If you've got a Baseball Prospectus subscription, click on over to see what Wilson Karaman has to say about Stockton Ports infielder Mikey White, the A's 2015 second-round pick, and what Chris Crawford has to say about Richie Martin, also a Stockton infielder, and the A's first pick last year. Crawford is much higher on Martin than Karaman is on White, in part based on the hitting, but largely on defense; where Karaman sees White as a second or third baseman down the line (plenty of arm, not nearly enough first step), Crawford praises Martin's defense at short and thinks his glove will be strong enough to make him a daily feature of a major-league lineup even if he is a no. 9 hitter.
