I don't get why people say this like it's true. He can't hit, or at least, he's never shown he can hit. His OBP in AAA this year was .315. Small sample, but so is his ML success. Last year his OBP in AAA was .360. That translates to an OBP around .290 in MLB, which I believe is around what we could expect if Gwynn were to play every day. I think he'll be lucky if he even becomes Tom Goodwin. I see Gwynn topping out at about a .315 OBP and a .330 slugging %. I'll be happy if I'm wrong, but I just don't see it.
