I've been hearing various rumblings (nothing concrete, obviously) about the Sox making a big run to get this guy. Looking at his stats, he could be the real deal. Big hitter for average, looks like decent power, and some speed on the bases. Thoughts on him? To me, almost looks like a Dayan Viciedo clone.

I've heard this too. Would be interesting to see him on the Sox. Whose place would he take though?

I wouldnt say he is a clone, kind of different type of player. either way it would be nice, but i wont hold my breath

I think you're confused. This guy plays outfield, I thought...

Maybe I'm the one that's confused.
