First of all, 15 games is, what, about 60 at-bats? That's not a lot. See how he does after 120.
Second, what do you mean he's 80 on the scale? If your scouts rate him 80 overall, that doesn't necessarily mean he'll hit for a great average. Does he have a lot of power and a good batting eye? You can also have a SS (or a catcher) rated 80 if they have gold glove-quality defense even if their hitting is nothing special; for a player like this, .229 isn't really
that far from what you could expect for a full season. In my current game, I had Yuniesco Betancourt (sp?) for 5 years, and he was rated 80 for something like the last 4. He never hit above .270 in a full season, his best OBP was something like .320, and he had very little power -- but he won 3 gold gloves in those 4 years.
