I've seen all I need to see on Vogs. Sorry...I know some of youse guys love the potential, but we're trying to win now, and he's trying to figure out how to hit a center cut fastball.

MOVE ON.

EDIT TO ADD:

Bill James once remarked that Justin Smoak was the least athletic man he'd seen in some time at the big league level. Vogelbach is even less coordinated and athletic. He basically looks like Joe the meat slicer at the deli who hammers weights on Saturdays and Wednesdays to stay bulky but is otherwise not remotely into sports up there.

And yes...I think a certain level of athleticism is required to hit in the big leagues.

I would send him down, get that AAA line up some more and then trade his butt for a reliever.  Looks like dogmeat to me.
