PECOTA apparently didn't see him having too great of a season last year, because his ratings in the quickstart are pretty lousy and decline rapidly such that it's pretty unusual for him to last more than one season as an even decent player...I usually edit his ratings (totally cheating, I know, but it's my game and I can do what I want!

) to reflect a level of performance consistent with the past 3 seasons (.311/.401/.571 with 46 2b and 36 hr per 162) and that usually helps a bit.
