Default Thoughts on Oswaldo Arcia?

he was a very good prospect and has been been underrated in the majors this year.

his prices are very very cheap.

How do you think he will be in the future?

I like him more pop in his swing then I thought.

I thought he has done quite well in the bigs this year. But you are right, quiet and under the radar.

As with Rosario, he's probably overshadowed a bit by Sano and Buxton.

Definitely underrated. Once the Twins start to gain momentum with their prospects reaching the bigs (Sano, Buxton, Meyer), if Arcia keeps performing I could see his prices shooting up 2x-3x

As long as he keeps working on his swing against lefties I think he is going to be legit. Been a little exposed against them this year but being only 22 in the majors and doing how he is I think that is something to be excited about. I could see him being a 20-25 HR guy.

He is a masher. His "hype" has cooled WAY off compared to where it was when Bowman was first released. With how he has played this year for his prices to shoot way up he will have to go through an amazing stretch next year.

I've been stocking up on his social media graphs.

I think it's a good investment.

Ironically, it seems to be his "plate" discipline is questionable in 2 different ways. He barely takes a walk and he barely sees a meal he doesn't like. He is only 21 and already at least 20 lbs overweight when taking into consideration body fat percentage.

I can tell you that Arcia's Chrome Autos sell like hotcakes at Minnesota shows! Him, Rosario, Buxton, Sano, and Mauer in a few years looks pretty fierce for my Twins!
