I don't think he's a star either, just to make that clear. His defense was apparently horrendous in his rookie year, but of course a one-year sample doesn't really mean much for that, he's improved in that aspect over the last couple of years, largely in part of his strong arm I'm sure.
Whatever, I just disagreed with the Chris Young career path, Young was faster and a plus defender, while Cespedes is likely the better hitter with worse defense.
