In response to "I would be ok with him making it if he had kept up those #'s longer than he did. nm -- nm" by groiny

If he hit the big milestones, sure....but that split is the biggest impediment to him.

.865 on the road puts him in the OPS realm Magglio Ordonez, JD Drew, Bobby Abreu...

now, he's clearly better than them, but what's a reasonable home split for OPS and how's that impact his career...

say if he wasn't a Coors-Creation, and his OPS wasn't 200pts higher, but say .60 higher (reasonable given a spot check of splits)...

his career # becomes .895....we're now up to guys like Texeira, Adrian Gonz, Hafner, Juan Gonzalez, Brian Giles, Jim Edmonds.... where it's at least feasible if the longevity is there (and the non drug using)
