ugly ... i dont really like it

[THE_LOCKSMITH]

the guy turns 31 this year and before last year (54 hr, 124 RBI) he had never hit more than 16 HR or 63 RBI. There is a good chance that last year was a fluke

[BRAVES1985]

13 mil a year is nothin for the richest owners in baseball.... worth the risk

[Metalhead]

I would've gone through arbitration this year, made him prove himself one more time.

[Regul8er]

Folks...all it takes is ONE good season and your getting a big day....regardless if your 22, 30, 35 or 40!

[Pauulzcappin]

He'll have another great season, not sure if that great like the last one, but still...

LEt's not forget that despite hitting 260ish he had an almost 400 OBP with 50+ homers and he's very fast when on-base, very smart runner.

[Regul8er]

And probably the best OF arm in baseball. Im just concerned that he will be losing bat speed by the time he's 36 and 37.......and when that happens, he won't be pulling those inside fastball's 400+ feet.

[Metalhead]

I hope he has another good year, but a career .244 avg, .342 OBP, only two season over 100 hits.

[Jackson Hole]

Nice money for 1 good year. I guess they couldn't wait to spend the VErnon wells money

[Stallion]

Over paid for this guy, and he is also on Steroids.

Wow, after one amazing season! He should be good for at least 35+ homers this season
