Partially me being lazy. Has he ever played in a wood bat league? Anyone have anything interesting on him in terms of video? Everything I've seen has been college/metal bat footage. To be perfectly honest (and ignoring the obviously positive results of his college efforts), I don't really like his swing. Lots of moving parts...actually reminds me a bit of Rowell. High hands, toe-tap, looks like he might fly open a bit...

Yeah, if there is 'moving parts', there is NO WAY he can be a successful Major Leaguer... none!

I'm just kidding with you... his swing is probably not the way you would want to teach it, but I truly believe he will be scary good.

I'm sure we all hope so. He's basically the silver lining to what has otherwise been...well, the worst season I can remember trying to wade through as an O's fan.
