While I was never the high guy on Rowdy (IIRC), it's worth noting that, aside from being obviously hampered by his personal issues, he also changed his approach last season to go the opposite way a whole lot more. It led to an unsustainable massive decline in his HR/FB% (4.5!). His BABIP was also the lowest of his MiLB career; and while he's not exactly a burner on the base paths, it's apparent he ran into a whole lot of bad luck last season. Just a little food for thought.
If you look at the underlying numbers, it's pretty easy to give him a mulligan on 2017. And although his ceiling is limited at 1B, I'm not off Rowdy just yet. Keep the belief alive.
