He’s shown minor improvement, but nothing of significance over several years, at different levels. His defense will not improve much in the future, imo, or that of most knowledgeable baseball aficionados. We can hope, but the chances we hope for are slim and none, and as we know, slim left town months ago. I still expect Andujar to headline a deal for a front of the rotation pitcher at some point. With Drury in the wings, Andujar is easily replaced, and therefore, available in the right deal.

The game is still slowing down for those guys. Lots of room and time for improvement.
