Honestly, offense isn't what the Reds are concerned with, its just that he has to show them he can play defense in the Majors. As with most offensive young players, its a process and his swing will come around. His defense however, needs work. He dosen't have to be great, just average defensively.

So glad you aren't our GM. He is a 23 year old kid in his 1st full major league season. Your 1st full year is not put up or shut up.
Btw
.286 average, 2 HR, 11 RBI's, .397 OBP, .531 slugging, and a walk off double
I would say he has "shown" up this year, and since Chicago he has been playing pretty solid defense.
I repeat this is NOT a put up or shut up year for EE.
