Scouting Report: Large, powerful slugger with a great hitter's frame and a high power ceiling.  Extremely smooth and fluid swing.  Very good patience at the plate, actually could stand to be a little more aggressive.  Hits especially well to the opposite field, but also can pull the ball wall on occasion.  His swing is tailor-made for Fenway.  Still strikes out a little bit too much.  Athletic for his size, plays a very good first base.  Not a stolen base threat, average speed for a 1B.  Takes instruction well and learns fast.  Likely would have been an early-to-mid second round pick if not for high bonus demands.  Still a lot of room to grow.
