It's not great, but JJ Cooper's remarks about it are worth watching.
I don't think
THIS requires a sub.
Clifs:
Last year he looked completely hopeless and overmatched. This year, he does not.
The hit tool has improved a lot, and if he can just be average or slightly below with the hit tool (35-40), Starling will be a quality MLB regular because of his power and defense and baserunning.
I don't think Starling is ready to be a star out of ST 2016, and I expect he'll struggle some at AAA when promoted, but he's come a long way. Basically, he's gone from looking like a guy who was so helpless at the plate he would NEVER get it, to looking like a guy who belongs.
That's more important, in sample sizes this small, than raw numbers.
