Very productive. Not sure if you expected him to be the second coming of A-Rod or anything, but he’s easily a top five SS in the majors and has been for a few years now. Tough position to get regular production from and he does it consistantly.

He was fired for trying to do something with nothing. Had a piss poor team that year, of which the highlights included the ever underachieving Chris Young and Justin Upton and the career disappointing Stephen Drew. Trying to have Dan Haren carry an entire staff didn’t exactly work out either. But, the same old story goes, you can’t fire the whole team. Oh well, best of luck to you Bob Melvin.
