Freese: Real Deal or Just Average?

I promise I'm not just a Cub fan trying to stir up trouble. I'm curious how you guys feel about him going forward, not just because of the World Series heroics. The article is a critical look at Freese here, though it's mainly for a fantasy baseball outlook.

I gotta say I didn't realize how awful his GB/FB ratio was, and there's very few who can have one that high that (A) aren't speedsters and (B) are productive hitters, especially in HR.

Do you think Freese is capable of a breakout, or will he simply be a solid regular at the position? Or, will he be hurt again, and we'll have to wait for 2013 to find out what he'll be?
