What are peoples' thoughts on him for next year and going forward? I'm considering a deal in one of my leagues to grab him but I don't know if I can expect him to continue improving or to regress as many young 2B do.

He was a highly regarded prospect that Seattle rushed through the system. I think he has finally caught up and will continue to do well.
Word!
But I think this is a Trade question.

Not particularly, since I didn't even mention the players I'd be trading for him. So I'm not asking whether the trade I have on the table itself is a good idea, but more just trying to get an overall idea on how people feel about his future.
Thank you both for the opinions. Anyone else want to chime in?

At second base he is a top power hitter. I like him if you need a little power, I would just like him to increase his OBP. I think he will be atop 5 at that position.

I dont quite think hes top 5 with his lack of steals and playing in that ballpark, but certainly top 10.

Hes young and looks pretty good. Not to mention has a cannon. Saw his throw in the All Star Game.

I think with Jose Lopez you are looking at the emergence of the next Miguel Tejada. Very similar offensive game.
Get on and enjoy the ride.
