Very true. I remember a couple years back I thought he coudl be something some day, yet he continued to do terrible. Hopefully he finally figured it out because he can rake. He started off so bad this year and now his average is up to about .292, that is something. He has been on a tear for probably 2 months now. He is great to have in the bottom of the order, although if moved up could have more chances to drive in more runs.
