Yea, Marte stinks and Cron carry a ball club for weeks at a time. If given every day AB can hit at least 25 HR a year. He plays above average defense. He needs his confidence, and to know if he slumps he won't be benched or sent down. He is not a player that can be platooned and still be a good hitter especially playing only against the few LHP that teams will face. He needs to play everyday to stay focused. He has shown this ever since the All Star Break.
