Pretty sure that was a minority opinion which is why I'm mocking it. Teams have too much advanced scouting information and stats to not know how to get guys out who have weaknesses. Every team's book surely says "free swinger and chases with 2 strikes". He has good plate coverage and puts the ball in play a lot, which avoids the strikeouts but he's still just a slightly less than average hitter. And we're giving him more.plate appearances than 6 or 7 guys who are clearly better. He should be hitting 9th.
