I respectfully disagree. He knows the game and is a student of the game. When he first came up he really worked counts and hustled EVERYTHING. Now he is frustrated and has reverted to spoiled brat primadonna  behavior in my opinion. He has been on touring teams since he was 9 years old. Nobody tosses their helmet or cusses more than him. I never thought it was laziness either its behavior that primafdonna/headcases revert to when things don't go their way. I hope I am wrong but I don't think so.

Could be, but he's also a 21 year old kid being humbled for the first time in his life on a very public stage.

There's nothing better for building humility than being the worst regular on a team full of stars, including a young player eclipsing his excitement amongst the fanbase. He'll erupt soon enough, though

He's never going to get hot. Every time you think he is, he goes cold. Trade this bust in the offseason. Trade him to the Yankees.

Let us see what he can in one full injury free season before we ship him Out.

How are you going to get him through a season injury free?

Good point. I am afraid he wil end up like nick johnson with the expos back in the days. Maybe wrap him in bubble wrap and put a fragile warning caution sign on it and pray it works.

I don't think he's lazy. I don't think he knows who he is - so he tiptoes the line between primadonna and such - he wants so badly to be a star. But his ability isn't there. I don't think the ability is there, when people say that, I am not sure why they're saying it. His swing looks horrible and has for over a year now. There are at-bats he gets so many meatballs to hit and misses mistakes. Great hitters don't do that. We are all excited about an OPS of .806 over a small sample size? Really? With what we were told this guy would be.

Every time you think he's getting hot he takes another 0-for. He's just okay. Which at this point is a disappointment. This is supposed to be his team, it's not. He's a role player basically.

Well, that's a massive injury and re-injury. He has to start over entirely. I still think there is great promise there, but also a long hard fight to meet it.
