Although he is scouted to be a great hitter, he hasn't yet shown that. Assuming no pot jump, he only has about seven points left, and even if three go to hitting, he will still be lacking in BC and PD, offsetting the hitting. If you have a priority for offense, then he is expendable. If defense is your thing, then you may consider keeping him. That said, you have him in the outfield and from a defensive perspective, you should be able to find options just as good elsewhere, with better offensive production. He's not costing you much, so salary isn't a factor in the decision, just your team philosophy. If it were me, I'd have kept him for as long as you have waiting to see how he develops, and knowing where he is now, he would be at the top of my list of cuts if I needed a roster spot. Hope this helps. Good luck!
