Walter on Williamson
"Mac has turned himself into a professional prospect and a legitimate power threat. His flat out scary batting practice is starting to translate into games. He can run, throw, hit for average and hit for power. It may take him a third of the season before he is consistent, as he is still a very young hitter, but by April he will be a very dangerous man at the plate."
