I love him and as a total package he is almost as big of a prospect hit as Braun was, but I'm not confident his bat is quite at the level where I would feel comfortable betting on it into his 30's at market rates. He is very much in that Corey Hart mold of being quite valuable, but not so worthwhile to break the bank on. Those are the players you avoid on long term deals, and stick with Branch Rickey philosophy, better a year too early than too late.
