Yeah, that's good. Too bad his defense hasn't show equal improvement.
If he hits well enough there is always that DH thing.
Or his apparent effort.
Have his coaches or teammates questioned his effort? Admittedly, I haven't seen a ton of games lately, but I wonder if this might be one of those "I want to see more hustle-face" things.
No one has said anything yet to my knowledge, but I've watched a lot of games this season, and I've seen definite offensive and defensive evidence of what I think was a lack of hustle.
OK. To me he definitely seems too passive/tentative at times, taking too many fat pitches, and not going after catchable balls. But it's also possible that I just want to believe the guys is at least trying hard at all times.
I have confidence that Porter won't put up with lazy. If that is the case. I remember Garner saying he had been around him in Oakland and he's a great kid.
His PT seems to have been cut drastically lately. Anybody heard why?
Because he's a liability?
He's a DH, what liability?
Not in St Louis.
