He will probably be in decline by then. He’s locked up for the next 3 years at just over 10 Mil a year and then the Reds have a team option on him at 12 Mil. on the 4th year. The Reds have 2 very good contracts in Gray and Suarez. Gray has a WAR of around 5 right now, that’s pretty darn good value for 10 Mil. For comparison, Votto has a 1.6 WAR for 25 Mil. Votto has slowly raised his WAR to where his numbers aren’t pathetic. The next 4 years could be painful with Votto. If he could hit .270 15 70, it would be bearable. I don’t think that is asking for too much from him. I really hope that he doesn’t continue to regress at a fast pace. It was nice to see 3 hits from him yesterday.
