I didn't see many games early in the year, and don't know how/why Fred's hitting declined so much. So let's say you, or somebody you could pick (Rod Carew? Wade Boggs?) had time and resources to work with Fred. Is there anything that could bring him around?
The poll is just a conversation starter. I hope somebody comes up with a Solution. Fred is exciting when he's on--I will never forget his debut in Sept. 2006, slugging 545, and inflicting me with a major rookie-crush.
