    Not syaing Olivera isn't allowed to struggle. But as someone who hated the trade, he hasn't given much reason for hope so far, either offensively or defensively
    Moncada was 19. But Olivera had a similar layoff and was coming from the same level of competition. Whatever advantage Olivera has in maturity and experience may be somewhat mitigated by the fact that he is facing pitching that is 3 rungs up the ladder.

    I'm not particularly bullish on Olivera, I am merely advising that it will likely take some time before he is on the beam and we can really see what he's capable of. That kind of layoff is no joke, combined as it is with a significantly higher level of competition.

    The point is, if he stinks right now it shouldn't come as a surprise, and it's not necessarily predictive of what his future is going to be. If he still stinks after a reasonable trial...

    He's not striking out much. Only reason to really get nervous is if he was just looking like an idiot down there. Could just be pure bad luck. His peripherals pretty much lineup up where I think they should based off of what kind of hitter he is expected to be.
    thank you weso1!
