What do you think he will do this year?

Also, what is his injury status? I just drafted him this weekend, not knowing that he might be injured. Could someone clue me in please?

Here's my Clue. It's been said in here before.. But hey.. he asked

Here is an interesting stat I stumbled upon. Based on 100 games played last year in the NL, these were the only players to bat at least .300 AVG. .400 OBP .500 SLG.

Player…....AVG.....OBP….SLG
Abreu…....0.308...0.413..0.521
Bonds…....0.370...0.582..0.799
Edmonds..0.311...0.420..0.561
Guerrero..0.336...0.417..0.593
Helton…....0.329...0.429..0.577
Jones….....0.327...0.435..0.536
Kearns…...0.315...0.407..0.500
Sheffield...0.307...0.404..0.512
Walker.....0.338....0.421..0.602

Nice Fricking Company, and Last year he was simply the fourth outfielder. They even sent him to the minors for a day or two. This year, Cleanup. For your fantasy team

well he asked

Wow thank you Wrveres, I feel like Casey Stengel in picking him.

I've heard that he'll be about ready for Opening Day, I'm not sweating it.

what pick did u get him?

by **Danks81** » Tue Mar 18, 2003 12:59 am

In a 12 team public Yahoo league I got him with the 11th pick in the 14th round.

by **MC_Hammer** » Tue Mar 18, 2003 8:13 am

I got Kearns in all 3 of the Yahoo leagues I'm in:
12th pick, 17th round
1st pick, 20th round*
5th pick, 18th round**

*I did this league with my friends, who arent all smart
**In this league there are a couple people with really good teams and some people who are gonna be gone by June (Matsui went third, Arod went fourth, I HAD FIFTH PICK!) :-P

I don't mind seeing those stats again. I thought it was funny when I picked Kearns in round 11 in my Yahoo draft and someone that I should have waited longer to take him. I think he'll be a stud this year and there was no way I was going to wait any longer to pick him. He's a great pick from the 10th round on IMO.

Nice pickup
Only question is his early career nack for being injured. Had some problems last year, and starting this year injured. Hopefully just a blip, but young guys who have a couple nagging injuries a year sometimes disappoint (ala J.D. Drew). Still, he should be an anchor in your O.F.

Calling out WRVERES......I think you are actually Austin Kearns Dad.
Come clean, man. I have seen your post about a hundred times.
