Just as we did with Niemann, let's glance over what PECOTA suggests will happen with the man with a ton of nicknames and hype.
- A VORP near 26 in nearly 700 PA is expected this year.
- That VORP is projected to be his lowest for six seasons.
- Some of his top comparables: Paul Konerko, Cal Ripken, Frank Robinson, and Manny Ramirez, although Travis Lee sneaks into the equation.

More like .250 and alot of strike outs. Don't get your hopes to high.

As long as his Iso is over .100 and he doesn't turn into a singles hitter I think we'll be fine.

Here is what we'll see...
A LOT of change-ups. Anything else, Longo will make him pay, but, A LOT of change-ups...

I'll be happy if he has a rookie campaign like Travis Lee's
The problem with Lee was that he never got any better.

Good point, people forget Lee was at one point quite highly regarded.

He is one of the BEST first basemen I have EVER seen... (with the glove.)

He'll go for 6-6 with 24 RBIs.

Knowing how unprobable it is
And that it's Evan Longoria, I'd say there's a 50% chance.
