Hank Blalock

[Guest]

How much will it affect Hank Blalock's numbers now that he is not hitting in front of A-Rod?

anytime is arod is involved or not involved things are definitly different - i think blalock who will probably be hitting ahead of soriano should see plently of pitches to hit - no one can replace arod but soriano wont be no slouch -imo - im thinking big years for blalock and soriano - (maybe wishfull thinking as i have them both in a league)

I think if Texas is smart they will put Young at leadoff and bat Blalock second followed by Soriano and Teixeira.

either way he'll see plenty of pitches and has yet to solve lefties so they will go after him every time.

I think it might even help his numbers. He should get plenty of pitches to hit and have plenty of chances for rbi's.

I think people are forgetting that Soriano is a stud. Maybe not A-Rod, but close... I think Hank is a top 5 3B this year..

I don't think it will affect his numbers much at all....Blalock is well on his way to being a stud....
