Saw this on their web site


Could be a good young player for the stros....


Hope he works out well for them

He's a teaser. Another of those 5-tool guys who are great athletes, but have the plate discipline of a little leaguer. I remember keeping up with him in the keeper league I have done for baseball. The hope was he'd eventually get some plate discipline, but it never came to fruition and never will.

Odds are he'll compete to be a 4th OF and nothing more. He was a K-machine that swung at everything coming up in the Dodgers system and apparently he still is. He's got 100k's in 331 AB over the last two seasons and just 20 walks over that same time span. Guys who strike out that often aren't much more than pinch-hitters, if that.
