1.) What deal would you offer?
2.) What is the best deal you think he'd get (and from whom)?

I'd offer him 3 years, $27 million, and throw in some bonuses for winning the home run title or something similar.
Since I think that'd be a fair deal for him, it's hard to imagine what he *could* get, since different teams value different things. I could see a team stocked with high average hitters, but who lacks a dominant power threat in the lineup, pursuing him and offering him more. Something in the realm of $10-$12 million a year wouldn't be out of the question for a consistent 40 homer guy who is entering his prime years.
