Yuck. I don't think Revere is ever going to be an impact guy for the Twins. At this point, I'm hoping he gets going, ends up with a good year with a high batting average again and maybe the front office can trade him for something.
Let's see, 1513 PAs with a line of .328/.389/.412 or 69 PAs of .203/.239/.234. I think he's going to be just fine.
Hope you're right, and I bet we'll be seeing him in September if not sooner.
He's hit over .300 at each level so far. That doesn't mean he'll do it again, but I wouldn't give up on him yet, either.
