Average. Doesn't a 99 OPS+ make him slighlt bleow average with the bat? IIRC OPS+ takes psoition and park values into account, right?
Anyways I understand with the OUTSTANDING defense why the total package is a VERY nifty player and one we need to hold onto for a while, just getting clarification on the offense.
BTW, in last nights game Gutz ran down a long fly ball off Melky Cabreas bat that would have been a sure double for pretty much every other CF in the game. MAYBE Torii gets to it two years ago ... MAYBE. Cameron when he was in his prime probably gets to it as well, but no one currently would have I don't think. Adam Jones probably runs into the wall trying to get to it (missing it by 15 feet) and turns it into a triple ;) Certainly last years CF's (Reed and Ichiro) don't get anywhere near it, although both of thee would have played it nicely off the wall :)
