Obviously, his ailing shoulder isnt bothering him anymore and his numbers show. Are there any new predictions for this guy? I drafted him in the 11th round and I benched him through April and I have started him basically entirely through may.
I think with him hitting in Texas for half of his games he could possibly achieve these numbers.
LOL, yeah he does strike out a lot, luckily that doesnt effect my fantasy roster because I play a standard 5X5 Roto league.
Yeah but I have him in one league where they do count talk about punting a category.
Wow, his value definately takes a dive when you are including strikeouts for hitters. Luckily he hasnt struck out as much this month as he did last month (still a relatively high amount of strikeouts though).

Yeah, I would drop the runs a bit if he stays in the 6 or 7 hole. But he does walk a lot, so I don't think 90-100 would be unreasonable. I might up his RBI's a little, too, if he's going to be hitting behind all those guys all year. He did hit 32 HRs and 39 doubles 2 years ago (and 42 doubles last year, but I think playing in RFK and the bum shoulder sapped a lot of his HR power. I wouldn't bet on it, but I don't think .280 is totally unreasonable. He is hitting .270 right now, and he was absolutely horrible for the first month+.
As of his K's, don't know what to tell you there..........
