The defense is worse than we all hoped it was a year ago. He's not going to play short, and right now the path to being an average 2B defensively is a long one. He'll have to hit a lot to be a useful player if his only defensive utility is as a bad 2B. I feel like asking a a 25-year old to make the kind of gains he has to to be a useful player is a tall order. It's doable, but right now he's a mess.
