Not concerned. He does one thing very, very well. Predict .300 when the dust settles.
Well one of the major compliments Bobby would receive is he'd get the most out of his players that weren't superstars.
I guess Fredi has done somewhat the same.

He's just going to be the same free swingin' Johnson. Eventually those balls will start to drop again.

You're trying too hard for Fredi

(I can't resist kicking Fredi around, but I actually think he's done a really solid job this year. I mean, there are some obvious head-scratchers, but that is always going to be the case. It's tough to argue with the results.)

We are a little thin at third. And the baseball gods tend to test teams where they are most vulnerable.
If Johnson got hurt or regressed severely, presumably the first replacement would be Pena (perhaps in a platoon with Pastornicky). Not a great alternative, but not awful either.
Beyond that none of the guys we have playing third in AAA and AA (Salcedo, Kubitza, Leonard) look like they are close to being ready. Nor do we have someone in the upper minors who could plausibly be moved from another position to fill in at third.

I'd do of now because people aren't crazy about his value anymore.

With good reason. He wouldn't do us much good in his current state.

Well to compare his stats to last year
BB rate down from 5.3% to 3.3%
K rate up from 21.2% to 26.1%
iso down from .136 to .103
LD% down slightly from 27.0% to 26.6%
GB% down from 45.5% to 39.1%
FB% up from 27.5% to 34.4%
of course meaning a massive drop in HR/FB from 10.9% to 4.5%
most of those stats should move better like HR/FB has never been that low. But his K% being up and BB% being down coupled with more flyballs and less groundballs means he's gonna for sure have a lower average than last year. even if you give him a .400 BABIP he'd be below 300 with his absent so far power and high K rate.
