I guess I’m more bullish on Stewart than you.    He’s a competent outfielder from what I’ve heard.   And I like having high OBP guys in the mix even if their power is just so-so.    I see Seth Smith as a reasonable comp, though I believe Stewart is less vulnerable to LHP.

I like that comp as well. I think Stewart will end up surprising some people. Seth Smith without the platoon differential and a better outfielder/runner.

That would be a nice outcome.

Smith:  Better hitter; better arm which allowed him to play RF

Stewart:  Hits both lefties and righties:  Younger

Neither will wow you with their range.

I might be in the minority, but I feel like Stewart has the potential to be a bit better defensively then Smith.

I think he can be solid average in left for the first few years of his career.
