Maybe, but he was not projected for much power when he was considered the 2nd best prospect in the draft.

No he wasn't, maybe average. So big power was never the expectation for him the way I look at it. I find the disappointment with that aspect while he's dealing with whatever hand thing he's got going on in his first professional season to be an overreaction. The allure with him was always his hit-tool, which is still the case. He looks like a great option as a future leadoff hitter at this point, and no reason to think there still can't be more than that.

I’m still trying to figure out why the twins drafted sabato. He had better start drawing lots of walks and lots of dingers so we can package him in a trade for a pitcher! Haha
