OK if 48 at-bats isn't enough how about 705 career at-bats? In those 705 at-bats he is hitting .241 and has struck out 190 times in those 705 at-bats. He strikes out 27 % of the time.
BA is almost a meaningless statistic. OBP is far more important, and the years where he was getting 300+ ABs, his OBP was .350. Given the part-time status, that's pretty good. Also, that number of Ks is not an inordinate number, not that Ks are really all that important anyway. His numbers show a decent track record. But he is very good defensively.
