Starting point has changed. Given the fact he has approx 1/7th of his season in the books at 1.139, to OPS just .780 for the season, he'd have to drop off to under .730 the rest of the way. That sort of drop off wouldn't be acceptable to me.
I'd like him to OPS .800 the rest of the way for roughly .850 for the season. The more they use him in a platoon role, the better I think that number might be.
