We also thought that he would be hitting 35+ HRs for us. The comparison to Tex is irrelevant as he has also been a disappointment since the first year of his contract. Two wrongs don't make a right.
The differential is not worth the money. So, he is 36? What does that matter? he's hitting the crap out of the ball, and he is only under contract for another year. He's a great value.
