Downside is the scouts aren't sure about the hit tool, he swings and misses a bit more than they want. Very high risk, very high potential reward. It would be a very expensive mistake if he didn't pan out especially for a team like KC, but the scouts I'm reading are going bonkers over his power.

Thus, my 1 and 25 odds. If you are KC, you can't afford to gamble with the entire estate. For NY, ChiC, Philly, LAD, LAA, etc, that's Vegas weekend money
