Acquired in the Marshall trade.

You never know how he ends up, but you bat .390 and steal 23 bases, it's a good start at 19 years old

I noticed you don't post very often in the Chicago Cubs Hot Stove thread.

I've seen him play many games. Looks very comfortable at the plate but it's tough to get over his size - he's 5-9", 140. Gets on base, but doesn't have much power and didn't seem to be a threat to steal.

Very nice to the kids!

Not many successful 140 pound major leaguers. He's going to have to get A LOT stronger or major league pitchers are just going to knock the bat right out of his hands.

140 pounds at 19 years old doesnt translate to him being 140 at 22 or 23. i am sure he is going to put on some muscle as he moves along.

Based on size and wing shape I'd say he's a falcon

I prefer the term "Starvation Insurance" over "fat".
