I'd say that's worthy of sticking one toe in the door, yet knowing there's a long way to go. To deny that is to not have watched him over the course of a year. Outsiders just don't know what this guy brings. His biggest problem is that he plays so many innings and takes such a beating that his body likely won't hold up.
