I agree that he leaves a lot to be desired in left field but he is only getting better… ease up.

Maybe this year we can get some sprinting out of him!

For leftfielders there are only 4 that had a higher OPS than him last year(Hamilton, Holliday, Braun and Crawford), maybe five if you count Cargo, but he split time between all three OF positions pretty evenly. He had a 121 OPS+. But your spot on with the defense, dude is awful.

I’m not sold on him yet. Mark Reynolds has more patience at the plate than he does.

Sad that, for him, that WAS breaking out.

I was super pumped when the trade happened and the Twins had actually acquired a legitimate top-prospect, he’s been nothing but disappointment for most of his stay up north, hopefully he puts together another big year and really gets things on track for good this year.
