I've been able to watch most every game this guy has played in this year since his call up, and I have a tough time trying to wonder what he will be over his career.
He isn't a Dunn type, because he doesn't walk nearly as much as actually has solid speed-not a burner, but pretty quick. But I can't seem to come up with a comparison really at this point. I don't see him keeping up as a .300+ hitter, but I could see a guy who annually hits .280 with 20+ HR, 80+ RBI. I don't really see him being just a 1 year hit, but it will be interesting to watch his development next year and in the future.

Hopefully, even if he doesn't become a true 'star,' someone like Boesch develops into a useful player who can put together a solid career at the Major Leagues.
It seems we've all heard of various 'rookie sensations' who do end up falling off the face of the MLB map, never to be heard from again.

why do people make shot in the absolute dark calls like this just to say they called it?
Even if you end up being right, it's just a guess.

I can see that and is probably the most likely. Could be a similar case of ryan howard, but doubt it.mwashuc06 said:
I can see this, but I want to make this comparison a little better...55_marlins_sp said:
Jim Thome (w/ less HR totals)
While Higginson was an above average fielder and retired earlier than expected due to injury, Thome is a better fit to Boesch in my mind. He can kill almost any pitching, but he isn't the best fielder in the world. He won't get those 10 assists a year or make the game saving diving catch: while Higginson could within a year. I also expect Boesch to become a full DH type by the age of 35 if not sooner and play until he hits 40.
That's how I see him and Thome being similar.

Boesch sports a career .269 career minor league average with a .314 OBP. For a guy who hit .249 at A+ as a 23 year old, I think it's fairly safe to say that this fast start is an aberration. Not saying he won't carve out a place as a really handy player to have around, I wouldn't expect him to continue at this pace much longer considering his best ever hitting season in the minor leagues was .291 in the NYPL at 21 over 70 games.
Is his BAIBP that ridiculous this year? It's hard for me to imagine a guy having this kind of sustained success when historically he has been this mediocre at the plate.
