[QUOTE="the juiceman cometh, post: 1792536, member: 747321"] "Upside" certainly does not connote any kind of guarantee. But he does have the power. He's hit 11 HR in 229 plate appearances as a rookie. Of course other factors may limit him. Very few prospects reach their full potential. Doesn't mean the potential was never there. Also Jose Martinez is not a good comp. Martinez debuted as a 27 year old rookie, as a late season call up. Was 28 his first full season. He was pretty much already fully cooked by the time he appeared in the league. Yepez is 24. He has 3-4 years of development before he gets to the age of Martinez's prime years. Which were pretty good! OPS+ of 134 and 124 his first two full seasons! [/QUOTE]
