Obviously he won't keep the pace up, but looking at last year's second-half statistics and the fact the rest of the Padres lineup is hitting well, I think .285, 15 HR, 80 RBI, 80 R, 5 SB are a pretty reasonable projection.

that's just way too lofty. I think he'll finish around .280 18hr 80runs 75rbi. the problem is that he's been awful at petco throughout his career.
yeah he's been awful at petco throughout his career, but his career is only 1 full season.
i've been reading a lot of stuff about how the padres have stopped whining about the park and started adjusting to it, hence all the winning. i also think seeing as how khalil is still a young and developing player, he'll be better in petco this year than last and continue to get better at playing at home.
Greene is hitting better at home than away this year:
Home: .306/.366/.556, .921 OPS in 36 at-bats
Away: .266/.324/.453, .777 OPS in 64 at-bats
Roger Angell: I was talking with Bob Gibson and I said: 'Are you always this competitive?' He said: 'Oh, I think so. I got a three-year old daughter, and I've played about 500 games of tic-tac-toe with her and she hasn't beat me yet.'

i hope so anyway. go padres.
dont forget petco park has only been around 1 season.
Since the padres really didn't have a home field advantage last season its reasonable to expect an increase in production from their returning players this year.
