No, Trumbo is a better athlete than Cron and is still pretty putrid defensively in the OF. He had a -2.1 dWAR out there last year in 95 games played
You're talking about putting a guy with limited mobility into a position he hasn't played since probably high school or maybe college. Trumbo at least was getting some reps in the OF in the minors I believe here and there - and he's still a liability out there
Calhoun was also in his age 23 season when he was in A+ ball since he had an extra 4 years of experience playing at ASU, so that matters a great deal.
Corey Seager for example had a 1 to 2.5 BB to K rate at A+ ball as a 19/20 year old for example.
I don't think this is something to worry about quite yet. We'll see how he does next year at AA
Umm, no offense but what the hell are you talking about?
Calhoun: .245/.328/.392/.720
Pujols: .230/.276/.376/.652
This is in fact Calhoun's worst offensive year, but he's been a significantly better hitter than Pujols
