He’ll just be hurting the team and stunting growth for other potential players that could be out there in the OF giving us better AB’s and working on their defense.
Hindsight is 20/20, of course, but we really should have let him walk after the 2015 WS. He would have left an all time hero. If he has a couple more years like the last two, he will be borderline remembered the way Mike Sweeney is(i.e. not fondly).

Nope. He’ll never be a Sweeney. Dude could bat 000 and still be a hero for his performance in 2014-2015. He hit the biggest homer in franchise history and he’ll always be remembered for that.
