Might it just be that we've vastly overrated this kid, much like Luis Valbuena? I mean, just because they're "young" and we traded for them...doesn't mean they're going to be even an average major leaguer. People say "play the kids, play the kids." Well, surely there's a "kid" who would hit higher than .150. If not, we've got bigger problems.
