I agree, and it has nothing to do with trying to increase production this year.
Rather, we need to learn if his excellent hitting is sustainable, or a mirage.
He needs to hit in a "higher pressure" spot in the order. If he keeps hitting above .300 near the top of the order, then he's a long-term building block. If not, he's just a solid fielder who belongs at the bottom of the order.
