He strikes out as much as Drew Stubbs did, and both of them were able to hit the ball far and steal bases to try to make fans overlook all of their deficiencies.

Yup

I was kinda hoping they'd put Elly in RF, he's got the arm for it. And put him down like 5th or 6th and batting order and maybe take some pressure off him. Almost all power hitters strike out a lot, but not that much! He's got to quit swinging at stuff that bounces or is a foot outside off the plate. If opposing pitchers don't have to throw strikes to get him out, they're not going to.

And I hate to keep  but if he can't hit right handed, stop letting him switch hit.
