Not sure why you're on an anti-Moose rant right now, but he's in the midst of a season that's probably going to end up being a 3.4-4.0 WAR. He's the third most valuable 3B in the American League, and he's 23.
He also has a .270 BABIP this year, so his average (and OBP) are a little deflated as a result. Considering the gains he has made as a defender, his offense doesn't have to carry him as much as it would have when it looked like he'd be below average.
Even if he's a .270/.320/.450 hitter with 25 HR moving forward, that's an incredibly valuable player if he's playing the same level of defense.
