It's the declining avg. and the lack of improvement in his walk and K #s that concerns me. With his age and the playing time he's had, he should progressing, not regressing. The power's great, but for a guy hitting 222, you need to have a LOT of power... I don't know if it's him or the wrong batting coach or what, but there's defintely a change in approach that has to be made.

I'm almost wondering if he can catch. I can live with his #s (barely) at the C spot, but from the SS slot, the two top things I would demand (as a coach, not a FBB Manager) are a good glove and good obp, they are a must, anything else is gravy.

Yea, to make up for an average that is that low, the guy better be on pace for about 50 home runs. And really, he doesn't even have that much power, a HR/F of 10.4% isn't that great. (It is pretty good for a ss, but nothing that special.)

See that, he's got his average almost to .250 before the allstar break after it was .209 on June 19th. 12 homers and 40runs, 47rbi's before the break.

Second half he's gonna turn it on just watch

Picked him to fill in for Reyes (stitches) and it's payed off well. 5 hits in the last 2 games along with the 2-R blast off Chad Cordero today.

Seems like a streaky guy who you want to either activate or pick up when he starts to heat up, but in the same aspect, you need to have another guy to play when he gets ice cold.

Now that I think about it, I think the majority of the Pad's lineup is like this.
