It was an incredible debut to be sure, but it alone shouldn't change our expectations for him. Yes, he will probably play good defense, but we should be really content with a .750 OPS from him.
That said, his home run was a thing of fucking beauty - 2 strike count, he sits back on a breaking ball, and then drives it THE OTHER WAY for a homer?<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->
Yeah, I was thinking the same thing. Opposite field on a breaking ball, and pulling the triple to the gap on the sinker? He's going to be fun to watch.
