i would say that's about right he stayed pretty healthy last year, but you can usually count on a few nagging injuries through the year

I've got it pretty close to the others as well....

J. Edmonds 0.292 35HR 102RBI 95R 5SB

Those are such good numbers.. He has to be one of the most underratted players in fantasy baseball... even if he only plays 140 games.. His numbers are just SIC

Yeah, I think he'll finish up around close to those numbers also. Good OF to have.

His AVG/OBP/SLG are all on a 2 year upward trend. He's on the wrong side of the aging curve, but who knows, we might be looking at one of those players who defies odds and gets better with age. Last season he just could not stop mashing the ball....38Doubles 42HR's in 612 plate appearences.

over the last 5 years he's only had one year with less then 576 plate appearences.

So the "injury" tag he gets slapped with is a bit unfair.

i wouldn't hesitate to take him, if i saw him slip to the 3rd. (he's a good pick anywhere from early 2nd on) the upside is just to high. Especially considering his SLG was only 2nd to bonds last season.

he does come with risk though...as previous posters stated.... he seems to be one of those guys who misses games for petty reasons, and because of some major injuries in the past, it feels like he could miss a big chunk of the season any given year.

as far as "triple crown" projections.

i see him getting tons of runs and rbi's (because of the lineup) as long as he continues to get on base as much as he has, and because of his major league leading SLG%

Yep, nobody pays attention to him. He's truly one of the best OF's in baseball. Outside of early picks like Beltran, Vlad, Manny, Bonds, Crawford and Abreu... he's right up there. But he goes late 3rd/early 4th in mock drafts. I don't know how Hideki Matsui got ranked higher than him in the FBC compiled rankings.
