Truthfully, the best bet looks like Alec Burleson at 100:1. Garret Mitchell at 40:1 looks like a solid bet too. Of the "contenders" I'm probably on Tovar at 12:1.

Agreed here, never really enough value on his ROY odds. His Stolen Base odds though have moved from 45:1 to now around 15:1. I
still think it's a good value at 15:1, fastest player in the league and he showed a few glimpses in the preseason that he may have an interesting strategy when it comes to the new pitch clock rules.

This would be absolutely amazing numbers for anyone. Still, I think a .370-380 OBP in year 1 would be a great outcome, would have put him in the top 10-15 in MLB last season. Again, he only put up a .330 OBP last season but even with that still posted a 5.6 WAR pace. A small tick up there can only help.

Wouldn't that be amazing? If he does, I think the Trout comps will start to come despite the size. Really the only hold up with him is the size,
all the numbers are there.
