Anybody know anything about him? He is a rookie batting .500 right now. In his 8 games last year he did pretty solid. I want to draft him for my fantasy league but I am not too sure if it is worth the risk. It will be around the 10th round or so. The kid has a ton of potential to be a big star so I dunno.

He'll play, and he'll be a good pickup in later rounds. Expect ROY type numbers.

He is one of the biggest young prospects in MLB right now.

I'd expect something like .270 BA, 12-15 HR, 20-25 SB, 55-60 RBI.

Late round flyer nothing more, do not overvalue him.

I will add that I haven't played fantasy baseball in years so I have no input on where he should or could be taken in a draft. He has a lot of tools to be a future All-Star for sure though.

Unless this is a keeper league or NL only league (or in a league with 18 teams or something out of the norm), I wouldnt pick him this season until my last pick or two at the earliest.
