Yeah, definitely not saying he's an MLB starter or anything, just that he had a good game and was noticeable in a few different ways. I think lack of power has been an issue so seeing the HR is good. If he can strike out less with more experience I think he could be a good option as 4th outfielder. Speed makes him a useful pinch runner for a lineup that has Kirk and Santander in it, and also a potential defensive sub for late game in the outfield. Switch hitter is nice as well. If he can translate anything close to the 281 he hit in AAA last year to MLB he deserves to stay considering his speed.
Upside case is a potential younger/cheaper Varsho replacement letting you trade Varsho and give his money to Vlad.
