I wouldn't put him ahead of the top guys in baseball, but I think he belongs in the second tier of great prospects. We'll see where that shakes out in the final set!
Cool, the thought is that he'll be a very good #2 hitter but according to the things I've read/heard from BA and BP, he is no longer thought of as someone who will be a threat to win a batting title (more like .270-.290), a good defender (fringe average at best), or a HR threat (maybe 10-12).
