In his free agent season he had 38 HRs and 42 SBs. When he had the great postseason I thought he'd go for $20 million plus per season but I think he actually went for fair value at $17 million for what he did in the prior four seasons. Getting 100+ runs and 100+ RBIs for four straight years is impressive with anybody but it is especially impressive with the Kansas City Royals.
