Sad to say, but Pete Crow-Armstrong is a mistake hitter. He'll chase a 2-strike sweeping pitch away every time, especially from a left-hander. EVERY time. Any pitcher who understands this, and has the control to make the pitch he wants to make, can get him out.
He's still a superb fielder, and a great bunter, but for that contract?
He should have been traded after last season, when other general managers might have been inclined to overpay. He won't have a season like that again.
I could have for sure thrown on a Royal, I was looking at the top-ranked players pre-season and where they currently rank to see how bad of a season they are having to date.

The Royals have four starters with batting averages .191 or lower and have the worst record in the American League and no Royal is on this list?
