Dominic Brown
I just drafted him in my keeper leagues after hearing his name and seeing him on top of several lists as recently as yesterday. I checked out his stats on milb.com and he looks solid. Don't know much else about him besides what I've learned in about 20 minutes of research. So what is everyone take on this guy? Is his "breakout" for real? How money could he be in that Philly bandbox?

background
important to note that he was a pitcher in high school and was only shifted to the OF after the phils drafted him
he also was a big time football prospect (one of the top WR’s in the country – had a scholarship offer to miami that he turned down) so that was also a big part of his focus in high school
so while it’s his 4th year of pro ball he has progressed very well considering where he started from

That’s what you’ll see when you read about Brown. They certainly aren’t rushing him through the system, I think a David Dejesus or Alex Rios type when at their best (.285, 20/20).

power
i think dom’s power upside is considerably higher then 20……….he’s just starting to translate those natural gifts into HR’s this year – 9 HR’s in 187 AB’s in the FSL is impressive
i can see multiple 30/30 seasons if he reaches his potential
