Just hit two dingers in the Futures game, and has really come into his own in AA this year. He's only 21, and I would think that giving up a prospect like this means that they are attempting to get the Orioles to take back some salary to keep them under the luxury tax.
What is he, a 4th/5th ish farm system prospect?
Only 26 HR's in 1000 minor league AB's for a corner OF and his K rate has hovered at average or below average for 800+ of those AB's. This season it has floated in to above average in limited AB's.
He seems like a good prospect but someone to take money back with too? I would suspect there has to be someone else in the deal.
EDIT: Yikes......just saw LAD previously spent $31 million for the right to sign him....yeesh.
