Side note (didn't see this mentioned in the thread, but SIAP)... Starling hit his first two professional HRs tonight. Would be really nice if he could force his way up to Kane County in the next few weeks, so he can start next year at Wilmington (High-A).
I'd love to see Bonifacio and Starling playing next to each other for a little while (even if Jorge moves up to NWA before the end of the year).

I'd like your perspective on this, too, but I think his swing is fundamentally solid. He's compact, on balance, and quick to it.
This swing looks sustainable and consistent.
We've long talked about how cool it would be to have an "instant star," and damn if it might not be Perez, the least hyped of all the prospects.
