Yeah, this start to the year for O'Rae has been insane. I've got to admit that I had kind of written him off completely from any sort of prospect status coming into this season. Not sure if it's his diminutive size or the injury issues as of late, but I figured he was just going to be one of those higher round picks that never really materialized into much. Now.....I'm definitely having second thoughts with him, which is pretty exciting!  

Do we know how his defense plays at 2B? Is he an above-average defender there? Obviously, because of his size - he's going to be very limited in terms of where he can probably play defensively, so am hoping that he projects well at second.  

I'm with you. I'd almost forgotten about O'Rae. 

 This system has had so much not necessarily go "wrong" but just guys struggling or hurt or working their way back... and you can still find so many guys having huge years. It's so encouraging to see.

That Nashville infield (Pratt, Jett, Wilken) needs to get going.  At least Quero is showing some signs of life at the plate.

Always has been a good contact hitter, and this year his swing decision is probably even more selective(lowest swing% of his career). But I don't think this output can last though, as it's relying on 0.442 BABIP while going oppo over 50% of the time, which limit his chance of outperforming his raw power.
