But by that time he'll be 28yo and there's no guarantee he'll hit those. He is a really good CF. So that has value in keeping the runners off base. But he's not someone that you can hang your hat on to carry your franchise from the offensive side of things. Maybe expect .230 12 HR someday? Plug him in CF and hit him 8th. He's your glove guy. Miles in left, Aviles in center, Benson in right isn't too shabby!

"What if" he had a hit report, instead of all those fielding and speed reports? Then he'd be a heart of the lineup player. But he's neither of those things, is still playing AAA at 26 and won't be a quality regular until 28. Defensive substitute and pinch runner is about his ceiling, which is a pity. I'm done with no-hit guys unless they're 2B/SS, and even then I'd really have to be sold on them.

Figure he gains 10 SI the next two years so's sitting at 114 and by 28 he will be slowing down his growth. Another 6 SI brings him to 120. Now 120 SI ain't too shabby, but that's IF he grows according to this plan. But, you're in League VI and you can afford to play someone like him because - hey you never know. As for what he actually is...he's a defensive oriented guy who is a lefty and has a lot of speed. On a good team he is probably a backup OF, but like I said you are in league VI so you might as well see what you have after at least a year. My guess would be you will see most of his training points being assigned to fielding, bat control, some towards PD and power.
