Yoan just isn't right man

Maybe this is Yoan. Maybe he's a forever .750 OPS guy, give or take 20 points, who has a good eye & will play GG defense.

I have long defended the guy, but he needed a day off more than anyone lately and IIRC he never got one aside from a DH stint the other day

Why is he not swinging out of his ass on first pitch fastball down the plate? 

Probably taking after Irvin couldn't throw a strike against Vaughn. He got a real good fastball on 0-1 and fouled it back.

Could be, but given 2019 and some of the flashes we've seen I still hold out hope. A .750 OPS with good defense is a valuable player but he should be so much more.

Thinking 2019 is more the outlier and what we are seeing is the norm.  Which doesnt make him a bad player, but for a former no. 1 prospect in baseball its certainly disappointing.
