I really don't think the size argument holds much water. He did fine in the bottom six in Stockton and that's arguably a much more physically tough league. Mangiapane is pretty tiny too and did great on the fourth line.
There's nothing wrong with giving him a shot. Can't be worse than what they're doing right now. He's scored at a great rate in the American league at a very young age.
