I mean, I thought you live and die by the analytics...not pick and choose when to apply them. Am I wrong on this?

    For the record I'm fine with where he is, as long as he's in the lineup. I'm just creating discussion and debate
    He only has 25 SEC AB’s, let’s see where he is after next weekend. Personally, he would already been in the lineup more 2-3 weeks ago for me to already be at 40-50 AB’s,which would be the number I would like to see to broaden the discussion. Analytics are great tool but you also have to have a sample size to have a better idea of projections. The more you have the clearer the picture. We just don’t have that yet.

    The K rate and BABIP are a problem for him in the analysis, the way he actually swung the bat this weekend and making adjustments at the plate this weekend are positives. Let’s give it a little more time to see what he can project going forward just a little better. I agree I liked the move and liked it for at least 3 weeks now.
