I don't like him to add to the MLB club. But if he's willing to go to AAA, I would like this as an essentially free pickup. He may generally be interested in coming here as he has more of a shot to play here than any other contender. As of now all he has to do is be better than Owen Miller/Jesse Winker at hitting. Not a high bar.

He is currently hitting less than them and all of his underlying stats seem to confirm that he is performing within what he is doing right now.  I don't think he is worth a flier even at AAA.

I think I remember reading about him that he dealt with migraines or something. He was a very good hitter not that long ago. This feels like the type of flier the Brewers would try to take.

He was a hot name a few years ago, I remember talking about selling a lot of prospects to get him. Wonder what happened. I just checked his stats and it looks like MLB pitchers found a hole in his swing or a pitch he can't hit.
