Heck I even went and looked at his year over spray charts to see if his pull vs. all field tendencies had changed... nada.
I'm not going to say he's still at his peak (he's not). But I have confidence that he's not a true talent .153/.288/.324 hitter.

Yes, he's not quite THIS bad but he's still finished as a MLB calibre player. He will struggle to get to the 200BA mark when this year's over.
Russell is not as washed up as Kendry is but he is still done.
