That's sort of where I am at right now too. This season can be viewed as a developmental year as well and maybe open his eyes as to what MLB expectations are. I just don't know if he is mentally where he needs to be if he wants to be a pro. He's obviously out of shape, he's missing plays at first that in the pros you have to make, part of that is the Jays fault for throwing him at first so late, but obviously he shares the blame for coming out of the break simply out of shape and in no condition to play 3rd base at a major league level. I would begrudgingly accept his physical condition if he was mashing balls like a Prince Fielder etc but of course he is not.
