Got to go through the midfield, which was nice. But 'Sel' will come back next week and I'll get stuck down forward again." | ||||

NEWS: Moving up & playing a role in the midfield dramatically helped his scoring in 2011. Will he need to help carry the load again? Potentially. Not to mention he is an exceptional athlete. He can create so much with so little space. He is still only 28 . He has more years left in the tank. He will play until after 30. We think his upside is limited. He will likely average around the 100-110 average in both formats which is what you are paying for him. | This is a 2012 outlook article. | |||
