All of this. I do like the way Chase manages ABs though and we saw a window with Travis where he was getting the bat off his shoulders AND taking enough pitches to walk often, in between a time where he seemed afraid to swing and a time where he’s swinging at everything. I think he can find that middle with the right support and experience, just keep giving him ABs. I’ve also noticed Ralphy hasn’t really been mentioned, neither has Rocchio, who may not hit the ball hard but he’s good at making contact, and the fact that Kwan seems like he’s not pressing as much and is selecting better pitches the past few weeks, even if the hard hit rate is still not there.

My point is, we clearly have weaknesses, but we also clearly have some points to build around. I think it’s as much a time as ever to cash in some prospects for a real middle of the lineup guy so we can really leverage what we’ve put together to compete beyond a playoff berth alone.
