I think most people don't care about defense as they should. Its that mentality of if he can hit .300/25/100 for 12-14 years who cares about defense. Shit, that's a Hall of Fame career. Not saying he is going to get there but he can easily make some All-Star games. But like you said, it depends on his motivation.
Pujols was always taking extra swings in the cages, taking extra ground balls etc. You have the natural talent but if you want to be the best, you are going to have to work a little to go beyond the inert natural ability that you were born with.
