but there's no doubt he's a first tier hitter.


it's not an insult.

It is what is it is. And there is plenty doubt, esp based on his minor league numbers

The only time he struggled in the minors was when he was first called up to AAA while he had an oblique strain. This year, he mashed at AAA before the call up. Any scout would tell you that he's close to a sure thing as a hitter.

i never said he wasn't going to be a great hitter. I just think he is a notch below guys like Upton, Heyward, Sandoval, Longoria, etc

I taught him hitting for a few years and I will have to say there is NO WAY he is the best. I cannot believe how well he is doing so far in the bigs....it wont last.
