We traded a once in a generation player for em.So he needs to get it together sooner rather than later.

Once in a generation? From 2015-2017 he ranks #23 amongst shortstops in offensive WAR & wRC+ and #1 in defensive WAR.

He's an incredible defensive shortstop and an average to, this year at least, above average offensive shortstop (#4 amongst shortstops in rRC+ at 122). But he's certainly not once in a generation.

I mean, he's in a generation of shortstops that includes : Carlos Correa, Corey Seager, Fransisco Lindor and Xander Bogaerts. I don't think he's as good an overall player as those guys, so he certainly isn't the "one" in his generation. He's not even in the top group.
