He should be given a chance to prove whether what he showed in playoffs was fact or fiction.

It's pretty rare that someone completely outpaces a long minor league track record in the big leagues.
And in my case I was simply saying that his power would likely not continue at this pace. I think he'll continue to have great at bats and get on base. You can do worse than Moreland, but I don't think he's a five year starter or anything like that.
