I watched the Braves-Friars game last night. The Padres's offense looked like it was clicking on all cylinders. They have some good bats.
Kelenic looked lost at the plate, but he did make a good catch out in left field. He did the same thing a week or so ago. So maybe some of his value comes from his defense?

The Braves must recognize his - ahem - offensive limitations. Otherwise they wouldn't have him batting 8th and as a platoon. And they brought in a pinch hitter for him the other night when he went 0 for 2. So they know what they've got. I think they must have figured they had the key to his untapped potential and we didn't.
So yeah, I guess as GL_Storm points out, we don't really need another thread on this loser. He's just another prospect that flamed out in the majors.
