I think he’ll walk and hit for power right away, but strike out too much to have an impact in ottoneu RoS. I think he breaks out in a big way in 2017 though, and has an early career that looks a lot like peak Hanley Ramirez but with a bit less contact and a bit less power.
Interesting, because I actually think the opposite for 2016: I think he’ll hit for almost no power but his speed will be an asset. I can see the breakout in 2017, but he is striking out 30% of the time in AA and it’s a big jump to MLB for sure. I guess we will find out soon enough.
The 
in me is much more pessimistic, but he’s still sleeping this morning.
