Recently I got Encarnacion (4.5* R 6 9 3) as a 1st baseman replacing Carlos Santana (4* B 4 9 3) who is still on my bench. After close to 100 ABs, Edwin has not hit at all. He's hitting under .200, with only decent power. He's flying out a ton and when he doesn't fly out he hits into the shift or hits a pop up. The rest of my lineup is fine, but he keeps killing rallies as my cleanup hitter. Santana hit around .240 with a lot of HRs for me. I know it's a small sample, but how long of a leash should I give Edwin? Should I replace him if he keeps struggling? What are some 1st baseman options that are upgrades?

I have had Steve Pearce, 7/8/4 pretty much since I started playing this game. He was a 4.5* and upgraded to 5* after the stats update. There are quite a few nice 1B out there, Abreu, Cabrera, Goldschmidt, just to name a few. But I don't know how to get them. I haven't been able to draft any 5* since probably Oct.
