4th best rookie season ever, and he even went through a massive slump and busted out.
Could very well take both ROY and MVP.
How big of a superstar is this guy going to be?

If he becomes a superstar, he'll certainly be a freaking huge one.

Anywhere close to as big as Acuna?
Has there EVER been a statement and question a certain someone should absolutely never have made and asked publicly more than...
Kinda pathetic to see yourself as a message board knight in shining armor. How impotent does someone have to be in real life to resort to playing hero on a message board?
Certainly a very interesting season, and a clear indication of the direction MLB is going in. Set the single season rookie record for strikeouts along with walks and Homer's. These days, nobody cares if you strike out. What's most interesting to me is, his minor league stats pale in comparison to what he did in the majors this year. Kind of came out of nowhere. I'm curious to see if he can sustain this.

The strikeouts signal to me a relatively quick flameout as pitchers get a better book on him. See Francoeur, Jeff.
I kind of agree with Rico. The K's are going to catch up to him. That said, I liked the BB% too, so maybe he finds a nice balance and becomes a good player for the next 6 years.
Coppy
He put up an 8.2 fWAR.
Everyone's power was increased this season. He was definitely known for having light-tower power throughout his MiLB career. Like I said, I don't expect him to repeat this type of performance every year. But he's a much better player/hitter than Jeff freaking Francoeur.
