Adam Lind isn't that good of a hitter either. His one good season looks like a major outlier at this point.
JP plays a way harder position, but that's irrelevant when you talk about him moving to 1B.
I agree that Arencibia will improve. It's just that the guy had a .720 OPS last season. Even if he takes a big jump forward and gets into that .780-.800 range that's still not great as a first baseman (especially one who likely wouldn't provide much defensive value considering the position change). Great as a catcher though. He'll be great trade bait once D'Arnaud is MLB ready.
