This hopefully will be good for him. I hope he can figure out his swing

Agreed. I like him as a player and hope he figures it all out.

those poor topps die cuts.

i just hope this doesn't hurt his confidence

Another "can't miss" prospect that seems to be missing, so far. I knew Butler would turn our to be the better player.

I think hitting .198 already did that. I think right now confidence is the least of his problems.

GREAT time to pick up more gordon's?

 

[matfanofold]

It's about time!

I think they held him up way too long! How long can you have a guy play horribly and expect him to turn it around? Hopefully they have not let him crush his spirit/will for so long it will be impossible to reclaim.

I'm honestly thinking about picking up a ton!!

+1

His confidence is laying dead somewhere in a Missouri ditch.

I am sure a lot of his Nebraska homeboys will be going to the 'Blatt to watch him play.

should have been sent to AAA to start 2007, by not doing that killed him IMO.

Yea...that hasn't exactly happened yet either.

.198 and a demotion to AAA qualifies as "so far", which is what I said.

If your comparing this season alone, then yea surprisingly a player coming off a major injury and surgery is doing worse than a player who isn't. If you're talking their short careers then naw.

Ugh, I hate having to explain things to people who just don't get it. Sorry, don't want to get it. I'm talking the hyper -vs- the reality. He was hyped as a can't miss. He's done nothing to date to live up to that hype. Plain and simple. Could he become a superstar? A HOF'er? Sure, anything is possible. But it's very unlikely.

 

[Vagrant]

I still don't understand how his chrome base autographs are getting $30 and there are players in the minors with star potential that don't draw that.

i hope the guy can turn it around. he seemed like a great talent coming out of college. i have randomly thought about investing late in him, but as of yet, have not done so.
