But, it doesn't look like bad feet. Looks to me like he is taking horrible angles to balls. He's never going to get a gold glove but taking proper angles would seem to be a skill that can be taught or improved on.

I don't think it is any secret that he has never really put a lot of effort into his defensive skills. He can improve there if he makes it a priority. Will he, who knows. "Manny being Manny" made a pretty fair living just raking and occasionally playing a little d. It depends on what will motivate him.
