was like .230 not too long ago, but still with HR's and RBI's, and stellar defense.

I think you just let a guy like that have some time as long as his glove is working and he hits .225 for months at a time. Now a decent season is possible, like an Ortiz. Tex is right up there with the Hr's and RBI's, and the glove is always there.

I think he is top 10 in Hr's and RBI's or close to it.

do not put him in the same category as david ortiz....he will finish the year around .290 35 homers and 130 rbi.. and a gold glover at 1B..do not put him in the same sentence as ortiz

he won't hit .290 this year, was like .225 for a long time before getting hot, but still hittin' some dingers and driving in runs while playing A+ defense.

A-Rod not hitting for average either, but way up there in RBI"S

These guys are fine, proven veterans. RBI's are better than batting average, esp. if you field well.

vets like Tex ( even Ortiz) come around ( usually).

I wouldn't sign Ortiz next year, but Tex seems solid.

Sure he can hit .290.....a couple more 4-5 games and he's over .280....when this guy gets hot he gets hot. Lot of time left for the numbers to be there. Could hit 35 bombs in the post roid era.....thats like 60 in the roid era.

I like RBI's over Batting average, Tex is there....and the glove !

He could hit .235 with 36 Hr and 121 RBI, works for me, average is for Ichiro types. If Tex hits the HR's, drives in runs, and plays great defense....he did his job even if he hits .250
