    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

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

    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.

    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.

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

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