He wasn't playing much, but he was 6-20 with 3 doubles in the time he did play these last two weeks. I'm just saying I get why JJ did it, just in the last 3-4 years we've had this same convo, then watched Soler become a WS MVP, watch Carlos Santana come alive, watch Ryan O'Hearn become a legit dangerous hitter. Royals seem to struggle with these low average slugger types. But sometimes that's just a change of scenery for a guy.

Bad fit for a slow low avg guy with some supposed occasional pop in his swing. Kaufman is spacious and played against his strengths
