Second, boiling offensive production down to batting average is even more uninformed. Look at every metric and you'll see he has been elite.

Whether it's worth the contract is up to the owner, I guess. But compared to other contracts, it seems reasonable. I mean, you get a player getting MVP votes every year and top tier in WAR every year. What more can you ask for from a guy?

Last season he put up outstanding Low Leverage stats. This season his High and Medium Leverage performances are much better. He is beginning to have vital hits.
