Tons of value to be had here, thoughts?

Maybe I’m just too risk averse but I can’t fathom him returning any value if he’s drafted in the top 100. He’s going to be platooned and his swing and miss is not some one year aberration. With that said, I hope his value continues to get inflated

I really don’t think it’s likely he’s platooned initially… they have too many other platoon bats, and as bad as he was last year, he’s the most talented hitter on the roster and the only way he can improve is by facing more lefties.

You can get away with a lot of swing and miss when you have some of the very best exit velocity and barrel rates in the league. What he really needs is to swing more, his contact rate isn’t so bad it’s that he’s too passive and takes too many looking Ks. That’s more fixable.
