I absolutely agree. If the plate discipline he showed in the minors starts appearing in major league at bats, then we have an asset that our lineup is badly lacking at the moment. Remember the impact Zo's discipline had on our offense? I wouldn't be surprised if Cutty could do the same once he fully adjusts to major league pitching.
As for his defense, he's young and athletic. Before this year they had talked about trying him in the OF as well. It's been a while since I've been this high on a prospect, (there's a reason the Royals made him untouchable at last year's deadline) so if we do decide to trade him, it better be a fleecing.
