Pretty good plate discipline as well... although if you more meant that his value is going to be almost entirely dependent on his bat then yes that's accurate. Apparently he's really improved both his fielding and his conditioning but his fielding will always be 1B fielding and his body type will always be of the "thick" variety (so baserunning won't likely ever be better then fringe-average). He either hits and makes it or he doesn't and won't.
If he starts the year hitting then I figure he makes the majors this season. He's a lefthanded hitting 1B... all he has to do is present as a more appealing option then Justin Smoak and that's an eminently achievable bar to clear.
