I had my doubts about some of the claims of this kid's talent....after only 3 games, I don't anymore. I think he is going to be a special player. He hit two balls in the gap last night that were hit so hard, the outfielders could have been 15 feet apart and they still wouldn't have gotten to them.
He's the real deal. This is the Year of the Rookie. Jason Heyward ATL, Ike Davis NYM, Mike Leake, CIN, Stephen Strasburg WAS, Starlin Castro CUBS, Austin Jackson DET.
I apologize to FReepers if I am leaving your favorite rookie off the list, these are the ones that came to my head besides Mike Stanton. I am sure I am leaving some hot propsects off the list.
Either way I think this is good for baseball. I like watching these new guys come in a dominate, sure as hell makes the game more exciting.
