Low batting average. Never walks. good glove and good power. Really doesn't sound like anything special. 

Is there something else I should know about him? If that's all there is, I wouldn't mortgage the future for him.

Ever heard of wRC+ and FWAR ?  131 and 2.2 respectively. That's special. Like Tim Anderson special just in a different way.

That combination of speed and power is also very special. Plus he’s a very charismatic, marketable player in the right city.

Think Luis Robert but a much smaller 2B version of him.  He oozes talent.

His numbers / peripherals remind me of Chris Young (OF), but as a 2Bman.

Why is his defense so highly valued if his range factor and fielding % is league average? Also .313 OBA isn't good. TA hits for a high average 

which helps negate his free swinging ways. I do like players who hit the ball hard though.

I apologize for the vitriolic political talk in this thread

Probably because his OAA and RAA are both in positive territory plus he has a solid arm which along with his quickness helps in turning the DP.

Even though the batting average isn't high he gets a lot of extra base hits which is why his slugging and wRC+ is so high.
