Yeah but it's the dingers that has everyone all a buzz. He's a great prospect and he's starting his career on the right foot, but the craze he's causing isn't justified just yet. People these days take a hot start and all of a sudden a guy with less than a month in the majors is talked about like he's a future Hall of Famer. The fact that he's a Yankee exacerbates the issue. If he was hitting .390 and throwing out 50% of baserunners but had no homers you might not even know he was in the big leagues. Fans are just fickle and quick to hop onto the current hot thing. Let's see how he fares once he's been through the league and a better book is out on him. I'm not saying he'll be a bust, just saying he might not be second coming of Johnny Bench.
