I'm still not seeing why he's being given starts. He's the worst hitting outfielder we have. He's good in the outfield, but occasionally makes an absolutely bone headed play. He's far too aggressive at the plate and can not lay off breaking stuff low and away. He's a poor baserunner who makes up for it with speed.

If he weren't so highly touted, he'd have been sent down.
