He's regressing because his knees still aren't good, so he's not an every day player, which in turn means he can't get in a groove.

For next year, he has a ton of potential to be the Twins second power threat, assuming he's healthy. In very deep mixed leagues, or AL only leagues, he's worth a shot as a end-of-the-draft pick, IMO.

Yup. Definitely. It's tough to predict Kubel's numbers for next season, but I think this year has been actually encouraging. He missed the entire 05 season and that his a heck of a long time. He has decent pop and will hit for average, but he's got to get more PT and I'm not sure what the Twins are planning for next year.

I love Kubel. I was under the impression that after he blew his knee out, he lost some speed but that it's not really bothering him from a pain standpoint.

So is he still sore, or just slower now?
