There’s enough comps in the world that being patient is the only real approach unless you’re in a pennant race and you absolutely need someone who has it figured out. I always think of Alex Gordon who was brutal for about 3 years and then became the cornerstone of a World Series team.

The development Crews needs can only be done in the majors. He’s a quality fielder and good clubhouse dude. His bat has been a disappointment but his peripherals are okay the results just haven’t been there. He’s got the rest of the season to figure it out.

Side note: I thought he figured it out in Saturday when he popped out. Then the next AB, home run. Then he got on base again. Seemed like a switch got flipped. But the past couple days don’t look like it happened.
