I think so too, he has perhaps 50 more PA's to show he can still hit for at least the league average. All the injuries will help him get more playing time than he would otherwise have. 

His best case scenario is to go on a tear between now and July so that he has a shot to get packaged in a trade to some team that believes he could start at 1B. He has hit .276 in games where he started as a 1B this year so there is some reason to believe it could work out for him that way. I get the impression that when he isn't playing the field, his mind just wanders in the dugout and he can't get focused by the time he steps in the box. 

He needs zero more plate appearances to convince me he can’t hit MLB pitching.

He can hit MLB pitching. We just don’t have time to wait any longer for him to show it again.

Hinch is wasting no time. SuperJack starts in today's lineup.

He was always fun to watch in spring training. Would love to see him get a couple knocks in today's game.
