I continue to think there is too much focus on JF's walk rate and not enough focus on the frequency with which he makes solid contact hitting the ball for power. For a guy with 61 extra base hits, his K rate (21.7 percent of official at bats this year) is relatively low.
Again, the issue isn't whether he makes contact like Ichiro. The question is how often JF makes solid, hard contact resulting often in extra base hits as compared with other long ball hitters.
This is where I think he excels and I continue to think he will be a factor in major league baseball.
As GOYA says, however, I'm not sure what position he can play at the big league level. That's my concern, not his offense.
