Props to Bill Hall?

In this very young season, is it too early to start giving props to Mr. Hall?

 

Throughout the offseason a lot of smack (on this site and others) was directed at Bill E. Hall and his contract.  And given his offensive performance last year - some of it was deserved.  But for the first time in his career he made it through an entire off season without a position switch and knowing the position that he was going to play. He is back in the infield and it is showing. Both in the field and at the plate.

 

His defense has been stellar to start the season.  Some of the picks that he has made on the hot corner have been jaw dropping.  Even in tonight's game against the Reds, some of the plays that he made from his knees on balls hit so hard that he camera guy couldn't keep up with them.

 

His offense (on the very young season) is nothing to gripe about either.  He is OPS'ing .804 and has an OPS+ of 108

 

So the question(s) that I am posing is - Is it to early to start liking Bill Hall again and stop griping about his contract?   After all, he has only had one bad year.
