EDGE Analysis
Eric Hosmer called O'Brien's power "amazing," while Alex Gordon took it a step further and declared it "the best [he's] ever seen." O'Brien hit three homers in the Royals' first four spring games as he starts building his case for a spot on the Opening Day roster, but he's widely considered a long shot to make the team out of camp. In addition to the swing-and-miss issues that have dogged O'Brien and his lack of a defensive home, his two option years remaining are working against him.
