Konerko is also going pretty low for a guy with 40 hr power. His numbers wont be great but he should be taken near Sexson just ahead of Morneau in my opinion.
This field, this game, it's a part of our past, Ray. It reminds of us of all that once was good and it could be again. Oh people will come Ray, people will most definitely come.
Solid last round pick: Raul Ibanez. He's a consistent 300.90.20.100 player. Also eligible at two positions. With Mariners' lineup improvement he might even exceed those numbers.
BA and SLG have decreased 3 years in a row. All three years he has been healthy, in the same ballpark with an improving team around him.
IMO Green is one of the most overrated players in fantasy and I am steering clear of him. Sure he could bounce back but I need some kind of indicator that he will - but everything about his performance is negative.
Now in Arizona the only good player around him will be Gonz. Glaus has batted over .250 just once in the past 3 years, a claim that Jose Cruz Jr. can't make and the rest of the lineup pretty much stinks. There will be no reason to pitch to him.

I agree. He might not be a bust considering nobody spends a high pick on him, and his stats should improve a touch going to the BOB, but nothing spectacular. I think he says he wants to steal more, or think he's capable of it, but his SB's are few and far between, and he's not been very successful with them either.

Woo Hoo! Pena will be beter than Beltre!
Just messin - as big a Tiger Homer as I am, Pena's BA isnt in the same zip code as Beltre's - He'll top out at .280-.290 max. I do expect him to have a great yr and finish with over 30 HRs though - solid sleeper.

he has never had that line before.
To be fair, Ibanez has only ever played one full season, 2003 in KC and he came pretty close to those numbers, in an average line-up.
He should get around 550 AB's for the Mariners this season as the DH. I can definitely see him getting 100RBI's and 20 HR's with a .300 Avg. When he was finally over his hamstring problems last season, he hit almost .350 in August / September combined.
