Jose Lopez, 2b, Seattle Mariners

What do you guys think of him? he started out the year dominating, but finished the year in a fantasy slump. He still hit for average in the second half, but the production elsewhere was almost nonexistant. Just wondering a couple things. in general what do you see in his future, and what is a realistic prediction of his production for next year.

Still learning at 22 yrs old, He did have a promising season for a long term keeper. Personally i like Lopez. I could see 15 HR / 5 SB / .290 avg./ 80 RBI / 80 R... nothing spectacular, but if you have him cheap.

I've been following Jose since he was very young. he struggles last year after someone in his family was sick or died...I don't remember. He's a very young kid, but he should have had time to come to terms this year. I think he has a good shot to hit close to .300, with homers between 15 and 30, if they let him run he has the ability to steal 10-15 bases, and he should get 100 rbi if they use him right in the lineup. For your own knowledge, I've watched him play in about 100 games in person...I have a good feel for his ability

if that comes true he instantly becomes a top 3 2b to be uttered in teh same breath as uggla and utley. he has the potential to hit as well as you say. I see somewhere around a dozen hrs and about 85 rbi and about a dozen or so steals with about close to 100 runs scored.
