Depends on what you consider not terrible. I'd say he's got bipolar results at the plate. Pretty good run production for when he gets a good swing on the ball, but tons of K's, awful at-bat after at-bat and he's averaged hitting .232 the last two seasons.
If he could find some consistency, he'd be a keeper. We'll have to see.
Without A.J., we still have potentially one 40+, one 30+ and three 20+ home run hitters in the lineup.
Power isn't the issue this offseason, balance is. Every position doesn't require a hitter with power as long as he can handle the bat.
