At best, he's a modern Cecil Fielder. Leaves MLB to play in Asia, then returns and hits 50 homers before fizzling out in a few years.
But Thames is already 30. Unless they're gambling for a quick flip, anyone who spends the kind of money his rookies are selling for now is an idiot.
I just don't understand the mindset of people who spend a fortune on an unproven 30 year old because he's hot for a month.

Zimmerman's only 32. That's not old in baseball. He's still in his prime and he's finally healthy (at least for this month). Half of every year's statistical leaders and MVP candidates are in their 30s, and many were injury-proneRight, so when an oft-injured, aging semi-star is outblasting a highly talented crop of superstar talent 7-10 his junior, it's a major anomaly. Nothing against Zim, always thought his pressure situation/playoff hitting was highly entertaining, but he's old and has a noodle arm. It sucks that anyone half-decent at baseball is assumed to be a PED user, and I'm not levying any accusations, but it's an early season story of interest.
I keep waiting for him to regress but he keeps getting better so honestly I don't know. He's an anomaly.
It will be interesting to revisit this thread in September.
