He could be a very special player if he spends his time this offseason working on taking a walk. Very few players survive while leading the league in strikeouts.
This is his first full season and the league doesn't seem to have a problem striking him out. Without serious adjustment, he could drift into Chris Davis territory and become essentially useless. He's probably having as much success as is possible while still striking out 3 times as much as he walks, and his average is probably plateauing at 261, which isn't great. I can't imagine it will improve from there if he doesn't start walking.
