Really impressive stuff.

I agree with this assessment, both the snarl (and swagger) and the talent.
Some guys have a style or an ability that actually shows better in the big leagues than the minors, because the talent around them is better. So a guy could make a decision to pinch, for example, and in the big leagues,the D partner will recognize it and play to cover it, and in the minors, it might just blow the play right up. And I see this kind of thing with Andersson every time he plays - aggression and skill, and at this level a lot of the stuff he does works, and he's getting better at all of it. Not to say his game is perfect or anything close, but I sure think his ceiling is high.
