Bunt single = base hit .300 avg = on base 3 of every 10 plate appearances .360 obp with David Wright and Beltran hitting behind him = great run production hopefully the knee surgery lends to more SB's this season (and maybe even improved range ?!) Do I think he'll be a top shelf starter in 3-4 years...no, but we could do a lot worse “and his complete lack of power and constant bunting is frustrating to watch”
