Looking forward to seeing him play full time. Especially as a future all star with all the young baseball stars.

One thing that bother me is that he looks like he will have a weight problem in the future, maybe by age 25. He can get away with it now with his young age, but I think it will limit him during his career.

A future 1B for sure.
Players like Cecil and Prince Fielder, Willie Stargell, Andres Galarraga and others have had good Major League careers, while being 'big-boned.
I believe it takes away little while these performers are in their 20's, but starts to hit them in their 30's.
Not only do they start becoming one-dimensional as just power hitters, but they are also confined to 1B or DH'ing duties.

Fantasy-wise, we don't care. We'll draft them till they start showing us the bad signs.
Some, like David Ortiz, may play well right up to their final at bat!
