But take out his terrible month of August and his numbers look a lot better. Also, his numbers vs LHP were a lot better in 2017.

Will be really interesting to see if he can stay healthy.

His September numbers weren't great either- .768 OPS- which was off of the .923 OPS he had 1st half of the season.

Yeah, but not a disaster. If .768 is your worst month, you're likely pretty good.

but there was August as well..

Yes, this is true. It's possible that at this point his skill level has declined to the point where the absolute best he can do is around .800 and the worst is considerably less.

Exactly. His ceiling is not very high and his floor is almost infinitely low. I don't think he's worth the $ (or, rather, that the $ are worth the risk. Hope I'm wrong but at least the Dodgers didn't have to give up any prospects. Of course, they will lose a draft pick.
