It was hard to say what he could be as he missed pretty much an entire year of baseball and then struggled with injuries in his first year in the Jays org.
He hit the cover off the ball his last year in Cuba, but got off to a slow start in the Jays minor league system.
He was always pegged as a future super utility type defensively with potential for the bat to perform.
Going to be interesting to see if this is just a hot streak or if he can actually be an all star level offensive player in the long run.
