A MLB team can help you with hitting, but they have to be impressed by the arm because that's something that can translate to the next level. Hell, almost every team uses 8th and 9th inning defensive subs now. With that arm why could he not be one of those guys eventually? If that's his lot in life, you have to say that's a pretty big win for him considering where he was a few years ago.
Lets not get ahead of ourselves on his eagle eye at the plate. Two years ago he only had 17 BB in 153 PA's. None last year. Sample sizes make the difference. I like him at 3rd and think he can be a productive hitter but 2013 Alex Detz he is not.
