Basabe is electric. He's gonna be fun to watch down the road. 

What a great showcase for all these guys who gave toiled for years. Good move MLB.

This dude runs hot and cold.  Might be seeing a preview of the next decade.  

He's got great plate patience; that will lead to consistency - a hot consistency.

The patience also works against him when he watches too many good pitches go by. This is part of the reason he is hot and cold. It can still improve though.

Patience will pay off in the long run as he pulls everything together.

On the fans part, yes. i'm not so sure about on his part. He gets in a funk and looks too passive.

I hope he improves on that .634 OPS at AA or we won't be watching him in Chicago.
