Whether his career is over or he's still a good player, he's never going to come close to that again, never did come particularly close to that, and we overpaid from the beginning.
Personally, I think he'll be pretty good for the next couple years... just not good enough to be worth close to what we're paying him.<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->
As long as he isn't wasting a roster spot and his contract doesn't restrict our ability to add other players in the next 2-3 seasons, I'm totally fine with Alf in LF and batting 5th or 6th. Anyone expecting a savior was nuts from the beginning.
