Is Scott Schebler the Cincinnati Reds' Newest Gem?

The Cincinnati Reds found themselves with a pot of gold last season.

Adam Duvall -- a player they acquired in 2015 via trade from the San Francisco Giants -- burst on the scene, blasting 33 home runs and earning himself a spot on the National League All-Star team. They had plucked Duvall from someone else's Triple-A roster, and he quickly blossomed into a ball-bashing stud at the dish.

These types of acquisitions aren't overly common. There aren't many guys in the big leagues who can top 30 home runs in a given season, and even fewer do so out of nowhere in their age-27 seasons.
