And no, I'm not saying Walker is going to be Juan Pierre (cause Pierre early on was one of the best leadoff guys in the game). Of course, one other difference is that Walker has as many BB in 363 PA's as the peak Juan Pierre had in 747 PA's.

Could be an impact #1 or #2 hitter and you have to like the fact that he's continuously improving. Hard to say, but as a whole, I feel as though the Sox system has taken major steps forward (and this is despite the 2 big prospects they acquired for Quentin/Santos not exactly living up to their hype). As well as Stewart being a POS (although thankfully he helpds land Youk). Castro has definitely taken a step forward this year so he's done more than live up to the hype.
