He's sitting out a whole week to get out of a slump. Not a Pirates fan so I don't see much of him, what happened, he looked to be a superstar.

Struggling and he was a superstar, he finished top 5 MVP in like 4 of 5 years....

He was batting over .375 in late August of 2012. Unreal what happened to him.

He was playing through an injury earlier this season. Might still be nagging him

I think it was wrist/hand related

He's been playing with a bum hand all season but they have been keeping it quiet.

He cut his dreads and lost his mojo, Sampson-esque

I wish he would be enough of a team player to realize he shouldn't be in center anymore. He's had a bad thumb all year long, hopefully that's what his issue is and it's not tDecline

That's not his decision. Clint Hurdle is the one to blame there.

Do you really have the expectation that a player should tell the coach to move him from a position? We all know Marte should be in CF but that's not McCutchen's job to switch with him

Hurdle won't make the change if McCutchen isn't on board.

Who is to say McCutchen isn't on board?

The problem is you're implying that you know Hurdle has asked him to move. Then you're further implying that Cutch told Hurdle no. You don't know anything about the situation and neither do I so let's no make false assumptions

I never implied that Hurdle asked him to move. That's all on you.
