Idk what they are doing with Kingery. He is not a SS. He’s fine in a pinch but with Crawford healthy, JP should be playing SS if he is in the lineup. They have him in the 3 hole for some reason. Someday sure but right now he is getting eaten alive. He’s down 0-2 every AB and is chasing pitches out of the zone as a result. He’s going to be a good player but it’s going to take some time.
Only two games but JP has hit some balls hard and he was starting to hit before he went on the DL. At the very least I know JP will give good ABs and work counts and not swing at shitty pitches. I know I was one of the few that still believed in JP when he was struggling in AAA. I just think his approach is too good not to produce results and I think he has sneaky pop.
Franco’s time is up here. It’s a shame considering how his career started, but he’s shown no progression. If he’s on the roster he should only play against LHP’s.
