what made me so hesitant to sign the guy is that most player die off at age 34 especially among pitchers exception seems to be the good closers as they seem to occasionally reach into the 40s but for hitters age 34 is kiss of death in many cases is why I trade off players at age 34 however once in a while you get players like this who last this long. Just like in real life. Right now I am rooting for the guy to break 900 HRs and in Wrigley field he should do it but I also do not like how the AI Managers handle him in not starting him as much as they can. Had he been on my team he would have been starting DH and 162 games a year. He has similar ratings as Bonds as outfielder of which obviously isn't saying much. Colorado won world series in his rookie year. Made playoffs several times but none the last 3 to 5 seasons. Cubs just won the division last season and they been in beast mode in FA market so I am expecting big things from them but I think SF will stand in their way. Shall see
