I guess I could see that, but I'm not projecting a .300 bat out of him. I think I see more of a .270/.330/.390 hitter.

Kind of a utility/light MIF early in career and developing a solid bat as he gets older, perhaps?<br /><br />I liked the pick myself the more I thought about it after the fact. It was the "safe" pick and he may not have the upside others have, but he's got his CSU-F track record to fall back on and after taking a lot of high school guys, a "safe" college pick isn't the worst thing in the world, especially when he'll likely time his debut with other Royals prospects.Mike Ehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06396953848421476405noreply@blogger.com
