It's time to ask if that potential will ever be met
here.
Ultimately, how he produces for someone else is fairly immaterial if he's not going to produce like that here. He simply doesn't play a consistently focused brand of baseball. Worse still, he's tentative out there.
Ultimately, I'm not sure the kid's smart enough to ever become a legitimately great player. Worse still, I think LaRussa has gotten far enough into his head that he'll never unlock his potential here.
If we could get him moved for an elite SS prospect, I'd do it. Ship him to Baltimore for Machado and Uehara and call it good.
