I like Locklear, I just don't think the M's are in the position to wait a couple years for him to reach his potential.
His .536 OPS in Seattle was a SSS but he was totally overmatched and had over a 40% K rate.
It happens. But like I said, I don't think the M's have the luxury of waiting for him to turn the corner.
