.285avg. 25 Hr's 90 RBI's 20 SB's or something? And of course he'd have to not go back on the DL all the time. As rough as I've been on him last couple of seasons. I'm rooting for him. 

Only 23 players hit .285+ last year.
Only 45 players hit 25+ last year.
Only 21 players hit 90+ RBIs last year.
Only 24 players had 20+ SBs last year.

I know the shift being limited and the larger bases are expected to bring up BAs and SBs, which should bring more opportunities for RBI, but still, that list all combined onto one player (a premium defensive position like CF no less) is a lot better than a "decent" player.

Last year Julio Rodriguez playing CF (132 games) hit .284, had 28 HR, 75 RBI, 25 SB. That won RoY, made him an All-Star, gave him a Silver Slugger, and he finished 7th in MVP voting.
