There's also no evidence that he's ready for that kind of offensive explosion. A .391 OPS in Boston, with one good month lifting him all the way to a .624 in Pawtucket (following his .554 at Pawtucket in 2011). What about the very real possibility that he turns in a sub-.500 OPS and is literally the worst hitter in the majors? Yes, it's fun to watch him make a few great defensive plays, but you don't think his ending rally after rally (with the lucky No. 8 hitter drawing 100 intentional walks), will grind on you?
