Rookies are just that. Most aren't ripe yet. And it's not like he was a high pick. I know we'd all like nothing but Avila's, Young's, Turner's, and Nacua's. But, more often you get guys like Gaines, SJD, Jackson, and others who take a year or so to develop.
So, I guess we'll see how it goes for him this year or if he isn't going to cut it. I'd bet he's much better.
