He has been about as horrible as possible since the trade and physically he's fine now. You're right, give him another year to recover just to be sure but it doesn't look all that likely at this point.

Something I didn't know was that Olt had a concussion from winter league, which led to his eye issues. I am not sure if he will "make it back" this year, he will still have to get his timing back. Or maybe the fear is there, who knows.

Morneau has never been the same. This is the reason Olt's value dropped significantly. When the Sox were rumored to be talking to the Rangers about Peavy, most if the prospect guys wanted nothing to do with Olt.

Honestly, I don't know why the Cubs acquired him. I thought they drafted their 3B of the future earlier this year. Why would they need Olt? And why did so many in the media consider the Garza trade a stroke of brilliance? It's a fine trade if that Edwards kid works out for them, but we won't know that for a couple years.

Agreed. When Garcia was with Detroit, I said to myself, "I wish we had a young outfielder as talented as that guy." Well, now we do have him. Hopefully, his power develops. That's the main thing that is missing. I'm optimistic it will. Maybe he won't be a 30-HR guy, but I think he has the potential to hit 20-25 a year.

Agree with Bland.
The dude is shooting line drives and not over-swinging. He needs to stay that way. He even has a decent batting eye it seems to me, which is unusual for someone who struck out so much. But looking good right now. |

He has two home runs in 180 MLB plate appearances. The power hasn't come yet. I think it will.
