^^^ Have you watched him play lately? The kid is a doubles hitting machine, and he's flashing incredible glovework at 2B, especially considering he's always been a SS before his call-up. Can he get better? Sure...he's a 21 year old rookie, so I expect he'll continue to improve, but I am definitely happy with how he's played so far this season.
In my local $$$ fantasy keeper league, I drafted Addison last year in round 21, which made him a 19th round pick this year and a 17th next year. I fully expect he'll deliver extreme value for the next 4-5 seasons. My other keeper, my 18th round pick this year, is Joey Gallo, who got the call-up from the Rangers when Beltre went down with an injury. Gallo hits the ball harder than anyone I've seen, and that includes Stanton. Not saying he's a better bopper than Stanton, because that would be ridiculous, but there is a statistical award called the "Golden Sledgehammer," which recognizes sluggers whose HRs travel the farthest average distance. The top 5 of those rankings this season (minimum 5 HRs) are:
1) Joey Gallo: 440.1 feet
2) Joc Pederson: 428.7 feet
3) Eric Hosmer: 424.3 feet
4) Kendrys Morales: 423.3 feet
5) Carlos Gonzalez: 420.6 feet
and
11) Giancarlo Stanton: 413.8 feet
When Joey mashes them, they pretty much always go upper deck on a laser beam.
