He started out with the promise of being the type of hitter I mentioned.If you look at his record, as the home runs go up...so do the strikeouts and the average goes down.This trend was showing before the injuries.So you missed a few years.He's OK now and if you would read what HC tries to tell you, you might learn something.
I will take the type of player Sizeless could have been over a Pete Incavilia , Adam Dunn, Dave Kingman type ANY DAY.
This....this is why you train ostriches.

You are delusional and ignore reality.
Sizemore has 4 full ML seasons to examine
2005 .289 .348 .484 in 706 PA with 37 2b, 11 3b, 22hr, 52bb, 132k and 22sb
2006 .290 .375 .533 in 751 PA with 53 2b, 11 3b, 28hr, 78bb, 153k and 22sb
2007 .277 .390 .462 in 748 PA with 34 2b, 05 3b, 24 hr, 101bb, 155k and 33sb
2008 .268 .374 .502 in 745 PA with 39 2b, 05 3b, 33hr, 98bb, 130k and 38sb
What is apparent is that Sizemore was eerily consistent, wasn't developing into anything like Dave Kingman at the plate and of course this ignores the fact he was a Gold Glove defensive player at an important position, CF
His TA (true average) for those years was .290, .305, .294, .304
His VORP (value over replacement player) is 49.2, 69.8, 58.7, 58.0
His WARP (Wins over replacement player) is 4.6, 5.2, 5.9, 5.2
His last full injury free season he had DECREASED his strikeouts by 25 at the same time increasing his HR's by 9
The shame of him getting hurt and not being the same player he was doesn't mean that he wasn't always going to be the type of player that he was in 2008. The guy was what he was, your delusions that he was going to become some Juan Pierre type or that this was a good thing makes your opinion particularly absurd in this case.
