I have him at ~.285...25 HR...85-90 RBI and 25 Sb....I took him in the 10th of a Keeper league....but I would probably wait a round or two more in a season league....

England's Worcester Canoe Club set the world record for paddling a hand-propelled bathtub. The 25 man team covered a distance of 55 miles, 425 yards in 24 hours on September 28 and 29, 1979.
His value will depend alot on if he resumes running or not.
The comparison to Beltran might not be too far fetched if he does indeed steal bases again.
Ill project a cautious:
.300 , 24 Hrs, 95 Rbis, 15 Sbs..
with a higher end more likely then the other way
Does anyone have any information on players (especially guys who steal bases) that return from ACL injuries? I can't think of any. I guess that really isn't a big baseball injury. I know in football they say that a player is usually 100% after about 18-24 months. I just do not recall any baseball players who have returned from this type of injury.
I think you guys are aiming a bit high on RBI's. As far as I remember, my Cubbies still don't have a real leadoff hitter. They may have Grudz hitting leadoff, and he did a good job last year, but I just don't know. Patterson will be hitting second behind Grudz, or else he may be forced to bat leadoff (and I have to assume he'll bat leadoff whenever Grudz isn't starting, unless maybe they start Goodwin in LF instead of rickety Moises Alou).
All-in-all, even with his power, I can't imagine him getting 100RBI's.
I'd say .275, 25 HR, 75 RBI, 100 R, 20 SB.
He shows flashes of being a .300 hitter, and then he goes on slumps where he seems to strikeout 3 times a game. Once he gets some consistency, and a little bit more plate discipline, he could easily be better than Beltran.
