It's a matter of expectations. That stat line - .248/.293/.472 - for someone that fans have touted as one of the foundations for club - "? where's the OBP? what's that BA?" - but that stat line for a 20 year, SS in the MLB is outstanding assuming that he can continues to improve while already being basically a the top 20 slugging % in the MLB. Prospects take time even if they make it into the majors.
