I agree completely. But McCutchen is on the downside of his career. The Brewers don’t have a hell of a lot on the way from the minors in the near future, and we’re pretty strapped financially by the Yelich contract.
Though he might be striking out with Joey Gallo frequency, of late (well…), it’s not long ago that Hiura was a top prospect in baseball. He has the skill set to be at least a positive offensive contributor. Of our options, he’s one that is at least controllable. I would hope that we give him consistent playing time to try and figure it out. He’s had some good runs, but it’s awfully hard to get in the zone when your playing time is spotty at best.
