    He's a questionable prospect from what I have read. Good eye and power, but he doesn't seem to hit for average and strikes out a ton. I have not read anything on his defense. I wonder if he can defend well and if so this pick changes to a good pick. But I'm having my doubts.

    Doesnt look like he uses his legs to generate power at all when he hits.

    Funny you should say that. I had the exact same thought. I'm a novice when it comes to looking at film of hitters and if I saw that and you saw that then it has to be a problem, no?
