I would guess he starts in SJ. He is still only 22, so if he progresses at the speed of a college pick, he can still be valuable.

I think he imediately becomes our #2 1B prospect. but with a MUCH higher ceiling than Oropesa.

That really doesn't matter. What matters is how well he does in 2013.

Sheesh.

I wouldn't worry about that, I'm sure he'll be popping bullets all over the diamond soon enough. Raw power hitters don't lose their ability to pull the trigger at 22.

He does have a rep as a hitting machine. Been known to silence his opposition...

Aw man, beat me to it. I was gonna post that we need to re-sign Uribe when AnVil makes the majors, THEN we have Murderer's Row

Sorry. Some wits are just quicker than others.

I'd be nervous about being the guy ahead of him on the depth chart.
