His failures make me nervous about our other high end prospects. If Senzel could bust so spectacularly, then any of them can. Makes rebuilding around prospects feel much more risky.
Yes, he did have the scouting report approval of being a sure-thing for hitting in the big leagues but his success is limited. Mostly, he can't stay healthy. If he could play a 150 game season, we'd probably see some productivity out of him but he has less years ahead of him than behind because of his age and injury history.
The franchise needs India and Stephenson to hit, hit, hit and be healthy to get the offense on track along with adding more talented position players in the OF.
