If he busts out of it this week and hits the rest of the year like he has in the past, teams are not going to downgrade him because he had 6 bad weeks followed by 4 1/2 good months But he needs to bust out very soon, and no doubt he knows that
It's weird though For the most part we thought he was being brought up to fix the 1B issue. When he started out in the OF we thought well let's keep him where he is most comfortable to get started. Tiny sample size obviously and a lot of Ks, but dude has hit .321 for a team that is really struggling to score against RHP, and he sits again. Whatever, let's kick their ass
