I've been waiting for this day when we added our Longoria or Braun type. The young and powerful club controlled guy who you could put into the middle of the order and build around.
Wonderful job by Jack of getting that guy in his second season in office. I'm also puzzled as to the 20-25 HR projection I've seen some places. In three minutes of watching his 8 major league homers, there is massive power in this kid's bat. I'd be shocked if he's hitting under 25 and if he ever gets the consistency from both sides of the plate, I could easily see 35 home run seasons. Cut the difference and I'm seeing a consistent 30 homer guy with a .400 OBP and strong defense.
First hitter in quite awhile that we can really get excited about.
