It's almost like the guy was an All-Star or something last year
Not from what I seen.

He had an .808 OPS last season in the 90 games before injury.
What do you mean a few years ago?
Short of some freak re-injury, the “from what you’ve seen” take doesn’t make any sense.
He had a high average but he did not hit for any power. Also his defense stunk.
He should not have been an all-star.
Granted he will be a huge step up from Naquin.
Brantley was actually pretty average defensively last year too. Now that's one thing I don't expect to really see from him again, but I see no reason why he won't continue to be a high avg, high obp player once back and if healthy
1.7 - 2.1 WAR through 90 games is pretty damn solid
He was shitty defensively, but he's been shitty defensively for most of his career, not a big deal. You can hide him in LF, especially in Cleveland.
When he's back in the lineup, he'll do what he's always done for us, hit the ball and create runs.
