Will this guy be able to hit in the Bigs? Splits are so low. Does high Eye and BR compensate enough?
Any comps?

He's a solid hitting SS, but he's not a starting RF on a good team. Maybe I actually like him as a 12th position player on a big league team with that SP/BR and he's like a 700 ops 335 OBP guy

His bunt rating is terrible and he won’t get on base enough to make the speed/BR combo matter. If he were a GG caliber SS then yes, at RF/1B definitely not. He could be useful on a playoff roster as a pinch runner but that’s about it.

About .240/.320/.350 in a neutral park doesn't work unless you can really play a key defensive position. I wouldn't roster him in the regular season unless I was in a very deep rebuild. He might be a reasonable 15th position player in the playoffs in a predominantly pinch-runner role.

How this guy hits above a .650 ops is beyond me. He isn't really even a good aaa player

His Def at 1B is probably why he's an All-Star...I'm just curious, and it might not mean anything, but how many Infield Hits does he have?

He was AAA MVP in the previous season. One of the reasons I felt he should have a chance.

Play him for a few seasons and you will see that he does not belong on anyone's ml roster. The sample size is to small he will eventually play to his ratings.

he trash

A tankers dream

If there's only one thing I could say in the player's favor, it's that he may offer proof that leagues/worlds are not "one size fits all."
Even given his second season decline, he's still outperforming his ratings, relative to my expectations.

So I have to wonder if the level of major league pitching in that world is lower than in others. I play in two worlds, and there's a marked difference between the two in what would be considered replacement level pitching. This player, a clear AAAA player, having replacement level success makes me think he's facing a lot of AAAA pitching.
