[QUOTE="ChiefIllini, post: 1440344, member: 588522"] He's a three true outcomes player, and that will forever bother people. You can't have 8 of those guys in your lineup, but having a few is very nice. Schwarber was IBB 20 times last year, had an OPS+ of 115, and greatly improved his defense. Opposing teams had at least moderate fear for him last year. He'll be 26 this year, no reason to think he can't make at least marginal improvements at the plate. He might be best suited for platoon work, but he's a threat at the plate and a non-liability in the field now. I agree that people need to stop crapping on him, this isn't the same baseball that was played a few decades ago, or honestly even sooner. He's a plus player in this era. [/QUOTE]
