No doubt about his bat but he’s mentioned as a fringy left fielder. Getz was out criticizing his routes the other day and he looks pretty slow. Is he quick enough to play at 1st base?

I wonder with all the injuries he has had if he is simply not in great shape to run in the outfield?  Or maybe adjusting to the different angle from RF to LF.  Hard to imagine a guy who was thought at one point to be a RF now is not good in left.  May show why he is not up or at least provides a reason,"There are things he needs to improve on" speech.

I think he's also gotten bigger as he gets older, which has slowed him down a tad

Thats in part what I was referring to.  Getting bigger with age while being injured may mean a little extra weight also.  Just guessing.  Let him spend the offseason training with Robert LOL!  I think he has the work ethic to be fine in left once he gets used to it.
