In today's MLB, batting average is meaningless, and guys who can hit 15 home runs are dime a dozen.

If he could establish himself as a 800+ OPS guy you might find some interest. But I don't know if Travis will ever be much better than a 330 On base guy, so that's going to require he hit more than 15 home runs to get the slugging numbers up. Aaron Hill hit 36 home runs, and piles of doubles one year and still didn't slug 500 despite a reasonable batting average.
