If you didn't know anything else about his season these would all sound like improvements.

Yep. I believe many here were saying that if he could cut down the strikeouts and walk more, he'd be a good regular.
100 games later, his walk rate has doubled, his strikes were cut almost in half, and he's having a terrible season.
