He's got a pretty sweet swing and bat speed. I don't know, called it skilled and hard working if you want, but back to back 4 WAR seasons =very productive. And he was extremely productive for the Red Sox before they gave up on him too early and have lamented the move ever sense. So it'd be foolish for the Brewers to do the very same thing after he's been so productive. But, I guess the adjective is up to you. I think he's that talented. I agree.
