This year the environment is better yes, but you can also see from his stats and recent evaluations of him that the other aspects of his offensive game are catching up to his elite bat speed. Like, Billy Butler at this stage I have zero concerns about Moose being an offensive force at the major league level. His defense has improved and he's working hard on that aspect, but where he will ultimately play is the only unknown for me. An impact bat at 3B is better than an impact bat at DH, but he's going to be an impact bat one way or another.
