Thanks!
Yeah - he's been quietly having a solid year. He's just a few walks away from his career high, and he might hit 100 runs scored for the year. His average is right around his career mark and it's the highest it has been since 2011. He's also hitting more doubles than he has in years. Lastly, he's making pitchers throw the ball - he sees the most pitches of anyone on the team, game in and game out. 30 pitches last night. He's a great clubhouse guy as well, which is invaluable.
Cespedes has been incredible. He seems to really be having fun. There's no doubt he's going to want a big contract after this year - but with the year he's having - he deserves it.
