What would he have to hit with 250-300 AB's to exceed your predictions for him.
He is a switch hitter who makes a lot of contact. Based on reports he doesnt seem to be a very good runner or fielder. His AAA numbers minus say 15% would be a pretty good guess. At that level he was a .294/.364/.492. He had a 15/43 BB/K ratio there in 220Ab's. I would say if he hits .270/.320./.400 he will have a nice career as a 4th OF type somewhere but he isnt good enough to stick in Boston.
