I don't think he's dropped off all that much. Average is down compared to the end of last year but is probably on pace to beat his homerun and RBI totals. Obviously needs to improve his OBP but I'm confident he will do that. I think he's been solid this year. Not great but solid.
Very exciting to see what he's doing in AA at his age. To be honest, he had fallen a bit in my eyes as far as prospect rankings go but what he's done so far this year has me rethinking that.
Possibly two more rehab starts for Woodruff?!? I understand making sure he's good to go but the season is wasting away and it's not like we're paying him a small salary. Get his butt to Milwaukee.
Outside of a trade, you are correct. Guys like Boeve, Wilken, Pratt, and Lara are still a year away and there's absolutely no guarantee those guys are going to hit right away. Might be a couple years before they make any kind of an impact.
Made, Pena, Dinges, Payne, and Adamczewski have all been out for extended periods of time due to injuries and for some, multiple times. Never seen anything like it.
