The Giants Fresno broadcasters made the faux pas of comparing him to one Buster Posey. This is something that a person in closer proximity to the Flordia - Florida State rivalry would never do, but the baseball comparison is not that far off.
I would expect this kid to be making a difference in Seattle real, real soon. He hit two bombs off Fresno, one opposite field. He has the complete power package as a hitter and seems polished behind the plate as well. Seattle may be maxing out his service time for arbitration, but a little time conquering AAA won't hold this guy back too much.
