Jeff has had years to work on his walk rate. He has shown NO improvement in it what so ever.
And as I said before he does not have the contact skills to make up for it.
He could someday turn into a constant 30 HR threat but I never see his .OBP being consistently over .310
For a corner OF the power is nice but nothing super special and the lack of OBP makes his offensive production next to worthless.
Of all the Braves call ups last season, I predict Jeff to have the worst career of the bunch assumimg all play about the same number of games.
Langerhans to me looks like he could become a good league average corner OF or even a CF.
Then there is Kelly Johnson who looks like he will turn out to be the best of the bunch. Just need to get and stay healthy and then get significant playing time.
