He had a .605 OPS with San Diego. Bad, but not can't-stay-in-the-majors-to-see bad. What I'm wondering is what happened there to cause him to hit the ball over the fence, because the way he's looking right now he's got about negative chance of actually driving a ball. Like, did the Nationals manage to freak him up in what, 2 weeks in AAA?
Dee Gordon had a .661 OPS. .605 is absolutely cant stay in the majors.
They didnt freak him up in 2 weeks, he was never ready to begin with. He wasnt ready when the Padres called him up but they were in a playoff race and didnt have a choice. He was crushing the ball in Triple A either.
He simply isnt ready.
