Any thoughts on Olerud coming back this year?

He was a symbol of consistency until last year

I wouldn't expect a rebound at 35.

I would think that he's got to rebound somewhat. Probably not enough to warrant a spot on a fantasy team in most leagues though.

Although you assume the risk of him being on a permenant slide, I think the chances are pretty good that he returns to his prior form. He's never been a great option at first base in mixed leagues, but if you can get him on the cheap as a backup or utility spot I think you'll get a good return for your money (or draft position).

Consistency is right w/ this guy. I'd project between 285-305 ish w/ 18-23 HR and 85+ Rbi. Not super impressive, but very reliable, and won't kill you if he's all thats available for your corner infielder.
