Latin is so risky that I tend to avoid it until very late in the rounds. Waivers are littered with 24 year old reasons why I don't draft Latin with any confidence

Well, to be fair, I had several players with good or very good potential...but they're all in positions I already have plenty of. And still not a solid SS among them.

These guys will be fine in time, but it will take time - and patience. A full 5-6 seasons in the minors at the recommended levels will get DeLeon there, but when he is ready you'll have a very good starter (and probably better than mine, due to his low fielding stats).

That's a very awkward build with 10 arm, 13 range, and outstanding fielding. Technically you could put him at 2B, but I'd be more comfortable with a 10 arm at 3B than 13 range in the middle infield, but that's my own eval system.
