[QUOTE="champaignchris, post: 1268132, member: 26283"] I think it's going to really depend on the bat, especially against right handers. If he can be an average offensive performer - OPS about .735 - he should be in there against all but the toughest right handers and get 500-ish plate appearances. If he can push that OPS into the .750s, he's not just an everyday player, he's an All-Star. I'd love to see him come out of spring training healthy this year. Something he didn't manage in either of the last two seasons. (The death of his sister in '15 didn't help as well.). I just have the feeling that after his coming out party in the NLCS, he's going to have a real break out season. [/QUOTE]
