He's still young, so there's still time to improve, but he's looking like his future will be as the proverbial middle infielder who hits .280 with 10-15 HR, not a star.

I literally have no dog in this fight so I mean this when I say take a freaking step back.
He has 83 career AB's. Making these types of sweeping observations based off samples that small, especially with a 22 year old, is incredibly shortsighted.
