In his first week in the majors, Bellinger displayed all the promise and problem of relying on a rookie in the majors. He also doesn’t fill the role Scott Van Slyke fills. Van Slyke is a right-handed batter, who can back up Adrian Gonzalez against tough left-handed pitchers. Even so, Van Slyke has not been particularly productive this year. It would be easier to just wait until Segedin gets healthy and hope Van Slyke rediscovers the form he displayed in 2014.
