I get frustrated with everything being reduced to a number. Hiura's numbers are above average for a second baseman? Okay, the Brewers aren't looking for average 2nd base production from him. They probably aren't getting league average numbers from other positions that generally have more pop, like third base. Brewers are somewhere in the .600s at that position, so it points out the need for the Brewers to get production from elsewhere. I don't think Hiura was brought in to be an offensive equal of Starlin Castro, who he trails in OPS, again, if you are using OPS as your benchmark. And there is no way to spin positive about his strikeouts. I think, based on where the Brewers bat him, they think he is their second-best bat. Viewed that way, is a .730 OPS good? So, yes, I'm concerned about Hiura. That doesn't mean trade him, bench him, cut him, or send him to Appleton, but I thought he would be better than this. I'm not excited to see him at the plate or that he is coming up in the next inning. I was last year.
