I'd give him until at least the trading deadline of the next season before thinking about hitting the eject button and dealing him.
What is his relationship with the hitting coach like? I'd make a move there before making a trade.

Interesting that you brought that up. My "power" hitting coach for the last 5+ years retired, and I replaced him with a fairly well-ranked "patience" hitting coach. The early results for most of the team were terrible. Fired him fairly quick and replaced him with another power guy, which seemed to get most of the team back on track.....except my guy Chris who should be working out well under a power guy....
