Nice analysis all. We should bear in mind when thinking about approaches, Safeco, HR distances, and whether or not he'll fit the park, that Lopez's growth curve won't necessarily match a Soriano or Tejada.
Why?
Because neither of those guys had the "make a productive out by going the other way" mantra gut-punching their talent during their development phase.
I don't know where Lopez's ceiling ultimately is, but if there is a candidate to surprise everyone (except us I guess), I wouldn't look too much further than here.
