And for comparison sake, that makes him the 7th best hitter on the team this year. He's only been better than our revolving doors of LF'ers and RF'ers.

No, his 121 wRC+ makes him the second best hitter on the team. His low WAR is due to the DH positional adjustment and/or his bad defense at 1B.

 

While his HR totals are down, he's offset some of that with an increase in doubles. He's also had a big increase in his BB % rate while maintaining his K %. He's obviously not an elite DH, but he's been doing a damn fine job with the bat.

Not trying to flame, just a question. If Robin left him in, do we lose that game?

No doubt about it, yes.
