Unfortunately, de la Cruz profiles like a lot of players who are electric for a certain number of years, but don't age very well.
I agree, but because Elly is so much younger, he will have a 10 year career before hitting a wall, a la Mike Trout or Griffey Jr. Elly will get his pay day, and then be an albatross on some other team not named the Reds.
