Because its still early, and he has struggled to be the all around stud we had hoped for. The star player. He's just not that guy yet. He's a nice player that is super fast, but struggled with a lot of the facets we were told were exceptional. Stealing 50 bases isnt going to fix this franchise if you cant get on base above a .300 clip hitting at the top of the order.
Short version: the .850+ OPS guy with elite speed and elite defense ended up being a .750 OPS guy with elite speed.
