I mean, he's significantly ahead of the 1B class and he's played in half the games. Sure it's a small sample size and he might not be a +24 run guy in the longrun, but still, I think he deserves some mention.

I've watched a majority of the Sox games this season and it seems he is covering enough ground to have positive numbers.
