He should be better. He should be hitting with a lot more power. He has been a disappointment relative to his talent. That's the bottom line. Some of us are perfectly fine with who he is and others will never accept this version of him. That's just how it seems to be on this board.
The fact that he takes two strikes swings with fewer than two strikes, and the fact that he's constantly late on fastballs. That shouldn't be happening. Somebody with his talent and bat speed should not be late constantly. He misses cookies way too often for his talent level.
His home run totals are way too low for the number of at bats he gets and his raw talent and power.
I think on that play his teammates have to yell instructions to him because he's watching the ball and the broken bat. But they probably don't give a f*** at this point.
Assuming reasonable health, depends on what they do at the deadline compared to other teams and it may also depend on what Manoah looks like when he returns, especially if they don't get a frontline pitcher at the deadline.
Well Garcia is one arm. Depending if you want to have a long guy like Estrada that could be another.
Otherwise unless it's someone like Fluharty putting his s*** back together again, yes they probably would have to acquire one more arm to replace both of them.
