What do you guys think? Is he a lost cause? 24/yo in A ball... not a good sign either, right. Very much appreciate thoughts, advice, and the discussion. Jeff

You have room to spare on your roster now anyway, so I'd keep him at the moment. Will he be a star? The combination of lacking a positive hitting comment and having an apparent high ground ball rate that won't capitalize on his supposed power will probably stop him from being anything special. Still, he has a chance to be a lower level starter.
