also found this fairly interesting
I'm guessing the comparison the projection was more on his obp/avg rather than his power because I'm fairly sure Candelario wont end up with the kind of power Encarnacion did. Still, that's pretty valuable "bench" player if they don't trade him.

Third-base prospect Jeimer Candelario (2.4 zWAR) didn’t experience much success in his brief exposure to the majors at the beginning of July, but he’s already projected to play like an average major leaguer and his top historical comp is Edwin Encarnacion
