His minor league cards show him as a second baseman. Trivia -- what HOF outfielder's RC shows him as a second baseman?

Yes, but I don't believe he ever played there in the majors until this season.

Good question...without knowing the era I probably won't get it...

Are you talking about Yastrzemski's Rookie card? There are probably others.

Call me old school but hard for me to get worked up about a guy batting .220.

you are correct his batting average is bad but he is a career .253 batting average.
And this current era of baseball is more about power than average. And this is sadly the era when strike outs are very high amongst most baseball players and no one really cares.
Adam Dunn always gets blasted for his high strike outs and you do not year those some things nowadays

Matt Olson has 155 strikeouts(10th overall) on the season with weeks to go. Kyle Schwarber has 190 strikeouts(1st overall)

Peter alonso has 128(48th overall)

Almost all the top home run hitters this year accept the True Top Players have high strikeouts and below average batting average

Baseball has never loved guys like Dunn, Kingman, Rob Deer, Gorman Thomas, and so on and so on with high HRs, high Ks and low BA. Jeff you say it's more accepted now but is it? The overall impact should still be the same, whether you measure it by WAR or something else.
