Is it me or is this guy a bona fide sleeper. I have read predictions of 280 plus 25 hrs plus and 80-100 rbi. I would be surprised if he cost more than $1-$3 in my 12 team $260 4 x 4 keeper league. Your thoughts?

Lane has never really gotten a full-time position. This year is the first, its always been said he had the talent, so I would say YES, I really don't think he will hurt you but at the same time can help you alot. Just my opinion. ;-D

Holliday is the perfect example of using a guy just when he bats at home in a platoon situation with someone else.

His split stats with almost identical AB's for home and away last year

Home: 204 AB .338 AVG .406 OBP 1.009 OPS 10HR 36RBI 20BB 29K
Road: 196 AB .240 AVG .287 OBP .654 OPS 4HR 21RBI 11BB 57K

He's great if you just start him at home.

He was asking about Matt Holliday not Jason Lane.

Man that is a good thought process, thanks for that one. i'll consider that and more with other rockies hitters too!!

I like those numbers!! I have him as my 4th OF in a dynasty league and he adds depth to my squad. If he has a week-long homestand, he's in my starting lineup.

I think Holliday should be pretty good this year, and now he's a full-time starter (last year was Wilson-Burnitz-Walker before trades and injuries).
