That's only about two full seasons for a starter. Plenty of guys haven't come close to their full potential after 1250 PA's. It wasn't that outlandish of a statement.
With that being said, I'm with everyone else, Gathright is here to be a fast 25th man who can run down some balls in the outfield.

1250 plate appearances at the age of 28 is way more than enough to let a logical observer realize that he's horseshit at the plate.
