Decent stuff (as shown by the K rate)...better than scouts claim because he's very deceptive.  But he's always had horrible problems keeping the HR rate down because of the extreme flyball results he gets.  With our park and defense, he might do better here than anywhere else, but you can't defend against 400 foot home runs.
50 HRs in 229 MLB innings = OH MON DIO!!!
His minor league HR rate has been rather poor too, BTW, especially recently.  He does have (and has always had) enough deception to miss lots of bats...his Sw-S% is good year to year and the minor league K rate is very nice as is his MLB and MiLB K/BB...but he's getting too much of the plate.  He's rather like Cha Seung Baek in that regard.
