There's no defense good enough in the world to make up for hitting .222/.300/.289. I know we're still dealing with a small sample size in the majors, but I think it's pretty easy to make him the odd man out right now.
Well, he's a top 25 prospect in all of baseball. He's going to be given plenty of slack to develop and produce.
If he continues to hit like this through an entire season next year, then maybe we start to talk about him being lowered in priority and moved out of the infield, but I don't think we're close to that stage yet.
