I am more speaking on his potential for the coming years more than what he deservesto make in hos body of work. He's not a hard thrower mixed with evolving his game and havinng a beauty change up. There is an upside and there's possibility for longevity.

Well he's gonna be 32, so I'd reckon he's peaked from a potential standpoint. And while outfield defense does benefit fly ball pitchers, you can't defend a homerun and the potential damage output against a fly ball pitcher is always going to be more risky. Especially when that pitcher is 32 and doesn't have great stuff.
