Pretty impressive stats given the aggressive assignment. Is the offensive prowess legit?

I'm pretty sure most teams (definitely the Giants) are treating 2020 as a lost year and starting guys where they would have started that year.

That said, his defense needs a lot of work. I'd like to see the Giants scrap the infield experiment, move him to LF or 1B and let him focus on his hitting.

The first is certainly true and I agree with the second. He's athletic enough that he makes some great plays but the defense is just way too spotty and will probably always lag behind the bat. Get him into the OF now so he can learn it because that's the long term spot.....and before he gets way more used to low A pitching than he should, give him the chance now at high A and move him along. We all saw how bad he was to start Low A and then how he adjusted virtually overnight. I imagine that's going to be about how it is for him at every level, and at this point I think leaving him in low A is pointless. He's a .280 hitter in the bigs if it all goes well, not a .300. It's the power we all want, and that will always be there.
