I remember I scratched my head with this one when the Fish drafted him. He seemed like a nice prospect but being a collegiate player without power seemed like a waste for such a high pick, however, he does have a sweet swing and is ideal for the 2 spot as a contact hitter. I guess the Marlins felt he could develop power down the line and hit about 15-20 as he got older and bulkier. I was doubtful that he would pan out to be this player after tracking him the last couple seasons in the minors but something started to click for him in the 2nd half of last year while at Carolina and he got off to a good start in New Orleans. Let's hope he continues to build confidence and show that sweet swing with some contact. I won't hold my breath though, we've seen this label before of "sweet swing, modest power" in Jeremy Hermida and Mark Kotsay. I will welcome the change though and if he does get to back 2nd that means Baker can move down to a part of the lineup that has been poor and that is somewhere in the 5-7 slot.
