But hey, F me because I'm an "Andy hater".....I guess?

I don't really think he was a bottom 10 guy.  He was an average guy with a bottom 10 season, if that clarifies things a bit.

Still, it's pretty rare that a player makes the move from "average" to "elite".  That's why I'm pretty hesitant to give him that label.  He may be performing that way at the moment, but his performance may end up balancing out.  Just as when he performed like a bottom-of-the-barrel guy last year, not many people expect him to not improve on that this season.  It's most likely that he is still hovering around average to above average, and is having a streak of incredible play.....if not, and this is the real deal Andy, he's made one of the more drastic improvements in recent memory.
