He's played in just about every ST game and he's 21/53 hitting a lot in the leadoff spot with speed and playing good defense in LF. If Kim goes away he's at least in a platoon with Reimold but because he can lead off and has speed I think he'll stick. They don't have anyone else who is a typical leadoff guy
In 4 minor league seasons he hit .288/.390 with 72 sb
Last year in about 90 AA and AAA games he was a .320/.420 guy
