What is Tyler O'Neill gonna cost the Phils?

can't imagine he'll cost too much right now, maybe a couple of 35-40 FV guys or a 45 FV and something more borderline? he's a FA after this year and while he's hit well, he's also dealt with several injuries. his stats are buoyed by his torrid start before the first IL trip (1.209 OPS before; .659 OPS in 111 PA since). I think the recent struggles/injuries have put a dent in what potential return the Sox could have gotten. he is on a cheap deal.

.265/.351/.500, 133 OPS+, 58 steals (leads NL), caught 11 times, 4.2 bWAR (FanGraphs has him above 5, though their site hasn't been updating stats properly). He's still got work to do with cutting down on the whiffs, but he's making better quality of contact and walking more. He's already a very good player, but if he can figure things out further he could be an absolute force.

He's 22, it's all unfolding like it should

The only player with this many HRs and SBs to date in the season in history is Rickey
