But his horse is pretty dead by now.

I don't get this sentiment - why do people think that the roster will be static throughout the season?
Whatever the opening night roster is, that same roster will probably re-appear no more than one or two more times during the entire season.
If Setoguchi hasn't gotten it going by 15 or 20 games into the season, he'll be in the press box or gone.
