Coming from the biggest troll in this forum, I found this incredibly amusing.

I'm not basing my anaylis on his BA at those levels, because I know that isn't a good indicator. What I am looking at are his BB:K ratios. Those numbers support him being able to hit for a good average, including the 16:33 he put up in the majors last year. I realize he was "old" for a player at those levels. It means his run as a decent major league player is going to be shorter than someone who had a head start, and to not expect the world from him. I don't think .280-.300 and 20 HR is a lot to expect from him. And I certainly think he's going to be better than Uribe.
