Jesus Aguilar was an All-Star for the Milwaukee Brewers last season, and was an MVP candidate in the first half, but this season, despite some points where you thought he might break through, he has not gotten into a consistent rhythm. And the fact that he’s not even playing against righties shows it.
He has just three home runs (all in one series, two in one game), 25 hits in 132 AB’s, and an abysmal .587 OPS.
Eric Thames, on the other hand, has not exactly taken advantage of the unexpected opportunity given to him with Aguilar’s struggles.
