The offense will come and go. I can appreciate that, and it’s a great bonus to get dynamic scoring potential from the center position. But, KP’s real value, like for any max contract center, lives and dies with consistent defense and the ability to at least hold his own on the boards. Still not seeing that, even though Zinger has been a plus defender in his career. Until then, it’s like having a good bat, no glove shortstop. The good news is that better performance on offense may be a harbinger of better health and thus better movement in the defensive end.
