I can’t support sending him to Toledo again. He needs to figure it out at this level or we need to move on. You can’t keep extending the leash because he’s a 1-1 when he’s last among all qualified 1Bs in WAR. With Torres, Carp, Baez, Meadows and 80% of the pitching staff out, this is a time for him to step up. Riley is.
If Tork figures it out the rest of the season and can put together something similar or better than last year—fantastic. Otherwise, move on. The roster is starting to bloat from underachievers.
