Kenji Johjima SEA or Ramon Hernandez BAL???

[RAmst23]

Anyone have a decent way to translate his Japanese stats to MLB?

I think the Hardball times did something last month.
PECOTA's 50% has him at 286/347/420. I think he'll show a bit more power than they have him at.

Anyway, I would take Hernandez straight up over Johjima, but Johjima could end up being a better value pick.

Ah, that's a good looking statement!!

Hernandez will go much higher would be my guess, could wait for Johjima until the late rounds.

All things being equal I would take Ramon but for the round you can get him or the auction price I think Kenji has more "value". I project:

RH - .282/17/67/53/1/30
KJ - .276/15/67/60/2/38

I think Hernandez will be potentially one of the top AL catchers for fantasy. I'm thinking he could have a lot more at bats because when he is not catching he will probably be dh-ing. Gut feeling is that he could be the 3rd best in AL.

Thanks for your help.

I like Hernandez better. If it's true that Johjima is going much later if at all, I'm surprised (I don't look at ADP usually). I've been hearing a lot of Johjima hype.
