Comparison wise

I was thinking Lofton. He has every tool except the power, but the power is coming

He's tearing it up right now. .355 .420 .605

6 for 7 SB too. So I guess he's Willie Mays?

I thought he was another one of those "can't miss" guys on the Anaheim Angels' roster. They have another guy on that roster, Peter Bourjos. Both of these guys are outfielders.

Good call. 4 Homers already though! That was supposed to be his weak spot

Carlos Beltran?

He's with the Dodgers, and Scott hit a homer last night on the "Dan, Orel, Terry & Buster Show", better known as ESPN's "Sunday Night Baseball" in the Dodgers' win over the Cardinals.

Only issue with the Beltran, Lofton, Van Slyke comparisons, they are all left or switch hitters.

While Mays could be a bit ridiculous, what this kid is doing at 20 is impressive.
