My point was not that a first baseman required an .800 OPS, but that Workman failed to reach the plateau even while hitting .300, so that when his average drops to more normal environs he will have nothing else to contribute. His power is unacceptable even in these power-depressed times and he does not get on base enough to compensate.

I don't think Billy Mitchell is the man to replace Workman (at least not yet). He's awfully old for a new prospect and that walk to strikeout ratio is ugly.

I think we need to be looking for a trade and pronto!
