Andre Eithier is 31 years old. His prime is behind him. His contract is in front of him. This does not compute.

Same here, I think 25 to 30 is a pretty safe bet if he stays healthy.People need to realize two things about Viciedo, first he was extremely raw coming out of Cuba and second he was rushed through the minors.Regardless, his K % increased by 5 or 6 percentage points in the majors last year. That number will go down as he makes adjustments, and as it does he'll make more contact and hit more home runs.

 

Viciedo has already cut down on strikeouts by taking more pitches, accepting Walks, and going with outside pitches, taking them to Right Field. In doing that he became more of a line drive/gap hitter than a one-dimensional pull hitter. I think that will translate into a higher batting average and OBP more that it will to his home run total.
