Matt, I think you've got to throw out those first 900 ABs when he was 20-21 and just getting by on pure athleticism (he was a multi-sport guy in HS who turned down big-time football scholarships).
Doc explains 2008 as injury-related.  If you do that, it's pretty clear the .330 OBP is a floor, and he's more likely to be around .350 or higher.  In all his healthy, post-learning curve years he's been around 180 hits, 20+ doubles, 10+ triples, 10+ HR, 50+ SB and .300 BA.
