His ADP is around 100 but many many experts rank him in the 150 range. He's slated to bat 2nd in a great Toronto lineup, a year removed from destroying the baseball world in BA in the NL WEST. I am expecting big numbers as he learns to cycle his roids better. Here's my prediction

.317-108-16-79-15

Currently have him ranked way above 100 OA.

I honestly don't know what we're going to see. I'm somewhat scared that he's now off of Ryan Braun's kool aid and will fall back to his pre-2011 Melky ways. I'll let someone else gamble.

His average will still be there, might dip below .300 towards the end of year with so much time off. But yes he will score a shit ton of runs.

.298 avg - 115 runs - 13 hrs - 68 rbis - 19 steals

I think he'll be a great value pick this year. The PED scare will likely lead to him falling in a lot of drafts. We probably won't see another season worthy of a batting title, but it's foolish to think that his increased production was solely due to PED-use.

.317 is way too high imo. His average last year was incredibly inflated by his BABIP.

I've got him at .291-90-14-77-17 good for 64th overall. I wouldn't take him that high as he's a bit of a risky pick, but he's a guy I'll be targeting where he's being drafted.
