"D.J. is a high school centre fielder with huge upside," Blue Jays director of amateur scouting Andrew Tinnish told reporters during a conference call. "It's a quick bat. He's an "eight" runner on the two-to-eight scale -- left-handed hitter with surprising strength for his side.

"We feel like there is strong projection to the body. We feel he has a chance to be a top-of-the-order centre fielder, with maybe a little more power than the traditional leadoff hitter."

"He has tremendous range," Tinnish said. "I think that's what keeps him in centre. It's harder to play centre than it is to play corner, and one of the things that stood out when I saw him, on several occasions on routine fly balls to the left or right fielder, by the time they caught the ball he was -- and I'm not kidding -- standing behind them.

"He has plus-range in the outfield, we definitely think he's a centre fielder and he's going to have a good chance to cover ground out there."

What's a good projection for this guy?

I read Juan Pierre.

I read Juan Pierre.

Apparently he has much more power than Juan Pierre. For starters, Andrew Tinnish says he should have more power than a typical lead-off man.

I'm beginning to loathe the phrase "hit tool". Just one of those things that bothers me for some reason.
