espinosa's AVG could climb if he cut his strikeouts but hes been a 150 plus strikeout guy for 2 years so may not likely happen. also could see him get closer to 100 runs in Washingtons lineup
That is kind of what I like about him, is that he has a better lineup around him which should equate to some better numbers. But that avg isn't going to be great and might drop some. His K% hasn't gotten better over the past two seasons while his BB% has gotten worse. Add in that his BABIP was probably a little high last year so any regression there is going to hurt his avg. I think he is what he is, a nice 2B if you miss out on the top guys but not someone who is likely to be anything more than that.
