I don't know if he is that good but I liked what I saw in Gville two seasons ago.  Mature kid who worked hard and has a great attitude.  Had a college aged OF on the team tell me - "His glove is amazing, if his bat ever catches up, look out."  His bat caught up this year.

When you say "glove" it includes his total defense I assume because he has a +arm I understand.

Yes his arm is very good.

System doesn't account for the Lancaster Inflation Effect (LIE). Note this in the comments section from the system's developer:

JAVIER doesn’t account for home park, so if the Astros have good home fields in the lower minors (I don’t know) that can throw off the ranking as well.

I do like Phillips, though.

OK but keep in mind Correa played his entire but abbreviated season at Lancaster and Phillips spent about 4xs more time at QC in 2014.
