Depends on your definition of "for real." Won't keep up this level but I see him at around .280/95/16/70/20. Playing in Coors for half his games will help. I unloaded him, bonifacio, and Jesse Chavez for Pence and Ellsbury

In Coors, how can you say he's not? Over 1.300 OPS.

On the road, just under .700. Stream at home?

He's a must play right now for sure.

Last season he hit .309 in over 200 AB, so the average isn't a total fluke, although it should eventually come down closer to .300 if not slightly under.

He hit .289 on the road last season, split HR evenly (at only 3 each) between home and road, and hit .296 against lefties. The power is more of a fluke than the average, but breakout seasons happen.

And he's matched his SB total from last season in under half the AB... so that's always a bonus.

I drafted him in TDBL, and you can bet your arse I'm going to keep playing him every day until he gives me a reason not to.


But is he "for real"... no. Hitting .380 on a pace (before tonight) for 124/27/102/37... that's not likely to be for real.

Check the peripherals

Dude is playing over his head.

Double his career BB%

Cut his K% in half

SLG% way beyond his career numbers


He either has a totally new approach to hitting or he just figured it all out

He's a good player but I don't think he's going to hit HRs at this pace

Certainly can score 100 runs in that lineup with close to 20 bombs though
