Are you making the assumption that he was demoted due to poor offensive performance because of his poor numbers in AAA last year? Because I'm fairly certain I remember him being demoted to work on his outfield defense at AA. There was such a huge contingent of outfielders at AAA (Pie, Murton, Patterson, Kroeger, Torres) that he needed to go down to AA to get regular reps in the outfield.
