I know the square root of nothing about him, but "too skinny" at 16 isn't bad.  It's the 16 year olds getting a ton of money who already look like they're 25 that I worry about.  They either are 25 or when they get there they need a forklift to get to first.   

Some of what appear to be the more recent clips in that montage show him with a little more mass in his arms.  If Alfonso Soriano can hit 40 homers, then this dude can get to the strength for an MLB hit tool.  Whether he actually hits is another thing, of course, but it's stupid to say a 16 year old is too skinny to project as more than Freddy Galvis - who, last time I checked, isn't exactly svelte.
