Erick Aybar

What is everyones thoughts on him. How good do you think he will be will he be playing at 2B or SS in the long run. It seems like this year he will be both but who knows about next year. Will his entire game be getting on base and using his speed and working on stealing bases with a little power. Or will he be able to do a little more on the power side as he grows older. What kind of fantasy point guy do you see him being? Is he a sure thing minor league keeper above a kid like Parmelee.

I was just researching the kid as well and wondering the same thing. At 5'11" 160lb and judging from his minor league numbers, all he will be is a solid hitter for average with a ton of speed. Probably won't have much power at his size but it sure looks like he can fly. I don't know... would that make him a Figgins type of guy?
