He had a decent year and probably the worst of his career. I wouldn't call it a very nice year by any means, especially for 24 million. If you're paying him 15 million then it's a very nice year. His last 3 years his OPS has gone from .981 to .940 to .819. To me that's a decline. Maybe last year was just a down year, which could be the case. Plus, no HR's or RBI's in the playoffs is not getting your money's worth either. I just don't see him as a top 5 player in baseball, including pitchers, but he's being paid like one.
