.553 batting average, and a slugging percentage that's only 167 points higher?  Kid needs to muscle up, clearly.

So Freese begins the season in an awful slump and you're already saying the trade sucks, Dipoto failed? 

 

Why don't you reserve judgement until either the end of the season or until Freese is out of the equation because he's replaced by someone else. Three weeks in it's too early to say Dipoto blew it on this trade. I wish we didn't have to give up Grichuk in the deal, but after his first couple appearances Salas has been tough out of the bullpen. Right now Bourjos isn't doing jack for the Cardinals and Grichuk is in AAA.

Anybody could see that freese was done last yr. Dont see why you can't call it a horrible trade from the beginning . Bourjos and grichuk at least have upside. Don't see that with freese or salas.
