Jose Bautista and Dante Bichette had way more hits than strikeouts...consistently...season over season. Our two best on field prospects, Jimenez...and since LSD went there...Moncada strike out more than they get hits.
That's pretty much not a good sign.
Why?
K% is routinely high among rookies coming up into the big leagues and tends to get better into its 2nd and 3rd year. Eloy hit for high average coming up through the minors with both the Cubs and Sox. Look at Vlad Jr. just now hitting his groove, which I think is a good comparison for Eloy. Eloy was finding that as well before his injury. Josh Bell is another guy who struggled for a couple of years.
You also seem to just be throwing shit at the wall. "Striking out is bad!"... "Adam Dunn!"... What does all of this prove? That you can consciously find reasons to doubt young, unproven prospects? Woooowwwwww maaannn... Crazy.
Also, if Eloy posts a K rate of 20% for his career, but is one of the games best power hitters... Who cares?
