I hear your points Taro, but his peripheral stats look pretty good.  He has a line drive rate of 21% and only a 11% pop-up rate on flyballs as a righty, yet has a BABIP of 0.167.  I mean, a BABIP of 4.5% lower than his line drive rate?  While a strikeout rate of 26% is high, it's not dangerously high.
I'd expect him to end up league average or better vs. LH, but it might take two years.
