He's a bit interesting. If he has the glove for 3B he has some upside. Last year still as a 20-Yr old in Clinton he walked more than 100 pts and had 25 XB hits in 80 games. Alas he K'ed 84 times in 268 ABs too.
The 4 homers this year are pretty cool. He hits RHP way better than lefties so far: Weird....
But if he can handle 3B as well as 1B and keeps developing the pop he has some promise at least as a guy who could make a MLB roster. A great eye some pop and a utility type glove......guys have stayed in the bigs with that skill set for a long time. The key of course is having enough pop to make MLB P-types a bit reluctanty to pound the zone.
Here's one tepid scouting report from a while back: http://longenhagen.blogspot.com/2012/06/mlb-draft-prospect-scouting-repo...
