yea and he slimmed down too which is a good thing. I am all for that happening.


According to Brady Anderson he is fast and not just fast for a big guy. Not sure what that has to do with 1B or the fact he couldn't hit a beachball last year when he got called up but thought I'd throw it out there lol.

yea i've seen him run before, its pretty suprising how well he moves. I cant imagine how much better he is now lol.
But I think its way too easrly for people to be acting like he is a bust prospect. He is just pretty raw still in terms of skils.

I don't think he is a bust at all. Everyone knew he wasn't ready last year when he got called up and knew he would most likely struggle. He didn't do anything worthy of being called up last year other than the fact he was the starting 3B for Norfolk and we traded Tejada lol.

It's going to be year 2 in AAA this year and he got some Major League experience last year.

I'll start worrying about him if he doesn't rake in AAA this year though.

agree. i think he will hit pretty well this year in AAA. and you never know, he could end up being a good 1b or a solid bench player like wiggy.
