I don’t understand how he’s still projected to be a top 10 hitter in baseball. Its been a steady decline since 2021 and he’s absolutely blown the floor out of his projections the last 2 seasons. Dude is a massive disappointment.
Yup, clearly they wanted him to get a little seasoning at 2B down in the minors first. I think they must have always intended to have him up for the 10th.
Pretty quick turn from him batting 5th/4th down to 8th/9th now…
Maybe the team thinks his struggles are pressure-related?
Or maybe they think he’s flat out cooked which would be depressing
Is it worth saving maybe 30 minutes in travel time to potentially miss something awesome? You already paid for the seats and spent the time getting there, might as well stay?
