Yeah, and he's hitting 3rd in the order on a last place team where he has Ichiro on base for like 38% of his at bats. Thats a pretty favorable situation to stack your RBI totals. The .833OPS is respectable, but really not a huge upgrade on what the team had received last year from Frank Thomas. That team had good pitching and still wasn't anywhere close to competing for a playoff spot.
