If his hit tool is good enough to hit low line drives consistently, then it's good enough to hit homeruns consistently, given his power.
Wade Boggs wouldn't agree. I still remember him saying that any of his home runs were mistakes on his part because it meant that he got too far under the ball. I believe Rod Carew would have disagreed as well. And remember Ty Cobb's reply when asked about the home runs Babe Ruth was hitting? "I'd hit more home runs too if they were worth hitting."
