Will he transition to 1st? It’s still up in the air, but his hitting is no longer a thing of legend. We saw him hit and hit well in both Port St. Lucie and Binghamton in 2012. In 2013 I have him slated to start the year in AAA and finish the year in Flushing.Jeurys Familia: It’s disappointing to see how far Familia dropped in many people’s eyes.
