That seems like a very wide range of error on possible predictive performance.

Unless he changes dramatically he doesn't profile as a #3, but ceiling could be a big middle of the order thumper (4-6). His power has always been there its why he was highly touted at one time. If he continues to thump and strikes out at the rate he will be tough to keep down on the farm. Still in 44 at bats this year he has ONE walk. His batting average is actually lower than his OBP. He is slugging over .900! Should at least be fun to watch to see if he can cut down on that K rate and still rake with that kind of power.
