I/M/O, he kind of screams out "sell high," perhaps in the middle of next year when Robles is past his super 2 date.
I've always agreed with this. I think the right question to ask is, was last year MAT's peak in "luck"? Even if he is making better quality contact, he still had a BABIP of .363 last year, and only the best hitters can sustain something close to that. He's not going to look as good, with the same great contact, if he's only hitting .240 instead of a BABIP-inflated .270. .240/.290/.450 is going to have everyone "wanting" to like Michael A. Taylor again.
I think there's probably an overestimation of his ability to improve, because he looks like he's 14 years old. But he's going to be 27 next year, and these are his past three years BB/K ratios:
2015: 6.8/30.9
2016: 5.9/32.5
2017: 6.7/31.7
Really good chance you've seen the MAT at the plate that you're going to see in the future, in which case you're hoping for him to BABIP .350+ to even be a decent hitter. Love him, but would deal him for a decent package at the deadline.
