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.

I don't think he has lived up to his potential but not in the same way that Greene hasn't even come close.
And maybe he will never achieve it here also but blossum elsewhere and we kick ourselfs for letting him go but we keep him and this is the way he stays?
But, I defintely don't want to trade him for some rental player this year. Nor Ramirez, Miller etc.
