The study isn't specific enough for our purposes, and you covered using only OPS or K's or BB's (which was part of my point) to evaluate as being too limited.
365 PA this year with 27 2b and 21 HR. Not sure "modest" isn't downplaying his xbh potential. Maybe I just view modest as meaning close to average and you mean not elite? His pop is certainly not average anyway. I'm thinking maybe you mean HR distance? I can't find any statistical info on that myself so I went to video:

Miguel Cabrera first 673 pro PA saw 62 BB and 128 K with about .700 OPS.
DJ Peterson has 547 pro PA with 47 BB and 117k with a .948 OPS.
OK the 4 year age difference to that point is pretty big. Carlos Gonzales, José Bautista. Do those guys fit that template? Low BB high K high Contact "modest" power... Looks like a fit to me. Dj's ISO in the low minors are higher than any of them so I'm a bit confused by the talk that his are too low to have any chance of Stardom.
