Don't like the walk rate a ton, either, but he's had better walk rates in the past, too, so I think it's all about the GB/FB situation. Arredondo is a better bet for a good 2010 than Jepsen in my mind, because he's shown a clearer progression in his career and his best year didn't come out of nowhere as much as Jepsen's did.
