He's not really a good fielder. YET. Great arm... but he fell over on a routine fly ball.

I think he'll be a great fielder... but you have to remember he was a former catcher just learning the position... still, he's so raw, no way he'll get or deserve a GG this year.

That's his fielding weakness right now, he's not familiar with how the ball reacts off the bat when he's in center particularly.  That shot last night broke back towards him which an experienced outfielder would have anticipated.  On the other hand, however, he's got nice speed and is fearless, at least until he Ryan Churches the wall making a catch.
