You really expected 30 HR's from him? I put him up for I think 15 HR, .265 average, with 60 RBI. It's somewhere in the predictions forum. That prediction is looking pretty solid right now.
I benched him this week and picked up Jorge Cantu to fill his spot. In another week or two I might even drop him, who knows...he's shown me little to prove that he's improved as a hitter. His K:BB ratio is bad, he strikes out 1/4 at-bats, has a horrible average w/ runners in scoring position, etc. Not to mention the 20 SB potential he flashed in the minors is looking more like 10 SB max in the majors.
I see him finishing 275-15 HR-8 SB, with maybe 70/70 in the RBI/R categories. I'm regretting his draft pick right now, I took him around 120.
