I don't think it's about pressing.
I think he'll do better "long term", playing full time.  But, I think most players will perform better playing 90% of games than 30% of games.
I think a huge (and mostly ignored) portion of hitting is simply "when do you pick the ball up?"
I think ALL players work in a personal range in that regard.  Bonds, Pujols ... these guys are otherworldly.  Most guys are more pedestrian.  But, ALL guys have good weeks and bad weeks.
Langerhans, when he's picking up the ball well, has a sweet swing that "stings" the ball with little effort.  When he picks up the ball late - he'll swing late (fouls or swinging strikes) -- and/or, he'll be forced to alter his swing to make any contact (popups and ground outs).
Langerhans' swing is sweet.  His ability to alter the bat plane is NOT.  So, his final profile is feast and famine.  When he sees the ball late - he has a slider speed bat.  When he sees it early - he looks like a .900 OPS guy.  In fact, during those spells, he *IS* a .900 OPS guy.
But, when you have a guy who hits .900 half the time and .500 half the time ... you have a .700 hitter.
