And he can't hit .179 0 2 the first two months of the season.
Your numbers are more inline with what I would expect as a minimum from any starting first baseman. Votto gets a pass from the organization and homer fans that are in love with his past, my numbers are bare minimum and if he can’t meet those numbers for a full year then they should just make him a platoon player. Maybe sit him against left handed starters if his splits justify that. If next year is another year of being mediocre then everyone should get over the king Votto. Johnny Bench was once great too. There’s a time to move on for every player. I’m guessing that he will be a platoon player at least by his final 2 years. That’s a position that needs to be a run producer and not an OBP guy that is slow as molasses.
