Expectations for Jean Segura?

Expectations the rest of the year and do you think he will be the best SS in the game down the road?

    I think he'll finish with about a .315/.355/.455 slash line, slightly lower than his current numbers, mainly because he hasn't been as great in June/July. He'll get over 200 hits and around 100 runs scored, as well as somewhere in the area of 15-18 homers and 40-45 steals.

    I still think Tulo is better for now, as long as he stays somewhat healthy. You can't beat a .300+ average, 30 homers, and gold glove caliber defense at short. A few years away, Segura could very well be the best. His defense isn't all that yet, though. He's clearly a better offensive player than Andrus, but Andrus plays better defense.

    He has 10 errors so that projects out to about 15 errors over the full season. If I compare him to the top SS in the game, probably Elvis Andrus, I would say Segura is better right now, and yes, I do expect him to be the best SS in the game withing 2-3 years. The kid has a canon arm, but occasionally boots a routine ball.

    As for this year, I expect the HR total top slow down, but the rest of his hitting should continue to be good. He should finish way over ,300, with 190-200 hits, 40 steals.

    The only caveat I have is that there might be another SS with a better glove, but all round, Seggy is already one of the best in the game.
