...and do you have a nickname for him. How good do you think he could be? It's kinda hard to tell, but he seems like he has a good head on his shoulders and can handle pressure.

I can't believe no Cub fans have answered yet.

I think he is awsome! Like you said he can handle pressure, and that has be one of the hardest things to find in a player when you call him up from the minors. Sure a guy can hit, sure a guy can play defense, but when the game is on the line and you have 40,000 people screaming what can he do? And how many big hits or walks has he came up with since being called up? And I think defensivly it helped him to have his LSU teamate playing with him in the majors, just for the simple fact of having that comfort level. I think he'll do nothing but get better and we'll be hearing a lot more of him.
As for nicknames they did a whole thing on WGN one day where people sent Len and Bob ideas but don't think anything ever came from it. One stuck with me though, FonDo, it's kinda dumb but it got stuck in my head so I always call him that.

I know the Cubs management is high on his ability and who am I to say anything different. At 331-1-18 in his first 120 at bats he is doing well. He looks to me to be a "punch" hitter that makes good contact and won't strike out too much. The Cubs have a good offensive team and it looks like he fits in well. School is still out for me, he is going to have to show me a little more. Let me get back to you on a nickname.

Considering he wasn't invited to camp this spring.....I would say he is a great player and is contributing to the team.
