in his 1st year as a hitter i think he can be a quality top 10 fantasy outfielder, with potential to improve even more.

I think that sounds right but maybe 2-3 homers too high

An announcer said that is the way Stan Musial started, hey Babe Ruth too.

True, but Musial was hitting full time in the majors at age 21 and Babe Ruth was hitting 50+ HR's at age 25. It's just a diff era now, I think it would be extremely hard for even the best hitters to take 7 years off hitting ... focus on pitching, then try and hit again.

Yeah, that is why I think he'll be picked up by another team off waivers, maybe a different team's pitching coach can help.

So you don't see him breaking Bonds career HR record (once he gets it)??
