272/.331/.396 is not a half bad line. its a terrible line considering what he was signed to do. you can't just lower the standards for him as he lowers his play. his career line is .265/.320/.380, which sucks, and there'd be little point in my betting that because he could go .270/.325/.360 and "beat" the target line while still sucking. (just for reference his career line in Japan was .309/.362/.486, now thats some nice numbers, and thats what we paid for)
