He's entering age prime.
He might never post the flash that he did last year, but I think he can replicate the baseline numbers behind the counting stats. He's already on pace to walk more this year than he did last year. That's a Good Thing™.
Moving him to a more appropriate position in the lineup (5th/6th) would also help.
