I'm saying he strikes out to dang much.
If he comes up with a guy on second or third and hits a weak grounder to second you then have a guy on third or a run in.... if he comes up in the same situation and strikes out you still have a guy on second or third but gain an extra out.
He hits .240 to .260, if he put the freaking ball in play on occasion he would probably be .250+ to .270+ easily.
A strikeout doesn't help anyone but the defense. So sure, strike out 100 times, walk 100 times, and actually put the bat on the ball the 50 or 60 other times instead of K for ground outs and I'd be okay with him.
