Way more power? After looking at the splits, he might have less power. Look what leaving florida did to DLee.

What numbers are you looking at? Cabrera is already better than Teixeira and 3 years younger.

Not just because I disagree with you, but this may be the worst analysis of anything I've seen in a while.

Please don't tell me you think Lee's explosion was entirely the result of him moving to Wrigley.
Of course not. But few player's had Lee's negative park splits.
As a Marlin
59 home hrs (Dolphin Stadium)
103 road hrs
That's a 36/64% split before now. He's 20/21 this year. He's at a good age for a power spike, coupled with a nice park, has certaintly been 2 big reasons why.
