That was as close as he has come, but no I don't think that is the best he has to offer. That season he did bulk of the damage at home (yes I know the thing you posted on home/road splits) but a .300 OPS difference is a large gap difference. He only hit 11 home runs on the road that season and 20 at home despite having 10 more AB on road and his avg ad almost a 100 point difference home and away.

Honestly I don't see any reason he couldn't have a 35/25 season with a .300 avg and .360 OBP and a Top 3 MVP season with his talent

He's only 25. He's got plenty of time

Well, me either, but I guess this is just parsing words.

That season is rarefied air for 23 year old (only like 12 guys ever matched his SLG% and HR total).

So do I think he could do more? Yes. But I don't think that doesn't mean "he hasn't put it all together" yet is fair, either.

But again, probably just the difference in how two people read that sentence.
