Then ended up hitting a 2run HR. This guy can't possibly be this good, can he?
I mean, two years ago people were suggesting he may be the best hitter on the planet. I don't think anyone expected to hit big-league pitching this well so soon but everyone knew he'd mash at some point. The problem is he can't play defense to save his life so his value will always be limited to the offensive side so he may never be better than a 3.0-4.0 WAR player or so.

Sorry Clapp, but Hawk says he's an awesome defender at first. And Stone, who knows EVERYTHING, didn't disagree. So clearly he's great

Haha. I see he has 3 errors in just 35 games at 1B (DH 9 games), and has a -0.5 DWAR (even if you question how reliable defensive WAR is, that's alarmingly bad in so few games).
