    Yes, his hitting improved in the second half, but did his defense?

    I’d be fine with a platoon for now and Bader as a late game defensive sub – with the idea that if Fowler did not DRASTICALLY improve both defense and offense by the midway point of the season, he rides pine the rest of the way.

    Who knows – maybe Fowler is just a plant by Theo Epstein to tilt the rivalry in the Cubs favor Fowler moves baby’s delivery date for Rizzo

    I think Fowler still had some gas in the tank last year, resulting in him playing well for part of the year. But with some players, and I suspect Fowler to possibly be one, once that gas runs out, the will to replenish it all but evaporates. Again, I do not believe a player like Fowler intentionally does not do what he has to, to perform at this level. He simply can’t help it….it just genetically happens.

    A lot of ballplayers, as they see their skills decline, put in more time at the ballpark, not less
