I like that they're being conservative with him.
McLain needs to figure out that hit tool. He's selling out for power (which, I suspect, is a Reds' focus), and that's costing him BA. He needs to dial it back a bit to find a happy medium, IMO. I'd love to see him be less Dan Uggla and focus on being a 15 HR per season guy who can also hit .275 and OBP .360+.
