Any predictions on him for this year? He's on Texas's offense, and anybody on their team can have a breakout year. Richard is 29 year's old so he's still in his prime I guess. I would say...
I'm pretty much agree with Scurvy except I think the downside includes a much lower BA.
Maine has a good swing for a pitcher but on anything that moves, he has no chance. And if it's a fastball, it has to be up in the zone. Basically, the pitcher has to hit his bat. - Mike Pelfrey
This is the guy that one year in Houston hit 44 HR's, 122 RBI's, 118 Runs and had a.314 avg.
Not saying that he goes close to those numbers but in that ballpark, playing every day, he should do much better in comparison to where he'll be drafted.
He is one of my definite sleeper type guys for 2005.

I absolutely agree. He's definitely one of the "sleepers" I'm targeting in my drafts but if things go wrong with Hidalgo they go horribly wrong.
