I'm starting to think they should have left Yorman and Juan Duran in Dayton for another year. Course, they spent big money on both of them, which automatically removes some level of patience.

I am not exactly sure where I fall in this thought process. If you are worried about laziness with Yorman, nothing should light a fire in him quicker than 19 Ks in his first 43 PA. I like to challenge my hitters and if Yorman is worth his weight, he will rebound and learn how to hit this kind of pitching. If he languishes for half a season and shows no progress, you may have to send him down to Dayton to get his swing straight, but you would hope he learns a tough lesson now and starts preparing for every game like a major leaguer.
