His adjustments make sense to me. We always thought his bat can be decent if his walk rate hovers close to 10%, which he’s doing now in short sample. The power is there. I just don’t want to believe it until he stays consistent for a full season, since consistency was also a huge issue with Grichuk as his approach and swing keeps changing.
He just needs to be 2 WAR to justify that contract. A 30 HR bat with .340 OBP should easily reach that threshold.
