Calling Josh Naylor’s short time in Cleveland anything short of miserable would be charitable. His OPS is worse than most of the starting lineup’s on-base percentage, he finally recorded an extra-base knock weeks after the trade, and he’s walked just twice in 34 plate appearances.
It’s hard to be that torn up about the performance of a 23-year-old with all of 350 plate appearances in his entire Major League career, but amid the haul Cleveland brought back from San Diego for Mike Clevinger, this was supposed to be the guy that helped the offense now, that solidified their spot at the top of the division.
