So where does he hit other than 6?
He isn't hitting 1, hes not an on base guy and the guy they currently have leading off is better at it.
He isn't replacing Pedroia at #2, and Pedroia hasn't hit well enough to hit #3. They will not move Pedroia to #6 for a guy who isn't getting on base. BTW, Pedroia has 12 SB's to Crawfords 7 and has also been caught 2 times less than Crawford. Crawford also struck out 100 times last year and 99 the year before that....not exactly what you are looking for out of the #2 spot.
He isnt hitting 3. Not even worth talking about.
He isn't hitting 4. Not even worth talking about.
He isnt hitting 5, Ortiz is hitting .300 with a .371 OB, hes slugging .547 and leads the team with 11 home runs.
Waste of talent? Explain.......the other 5 players are better.
Waste of money? How? Are you paying his salary?
