said he would hit alot more this spring training then last. He really came on in the second half, if you had to guess what numbers do you think he will put up next season?
25hr, 90rbi, .275 avg

I guess we can expect something similar to last season from Thomas. He had a rough start to the season but ended it in a terrific way. I hope he can be more consistent from start to finish this year but I can see him putting up some good numbers.
I agree on something like .275 AVG, 25 HR, 90 RBI.

I would project closer to .265 than .275, but I would really hope he gets closer to 30HR. 90RBI is a possibility if the guys infront of him get on base like they are capable.

Saw a small clip of an interview with him and he generally seemed like one of the most upbeat guys at spring training. This is a good sign considering that most veterans hate spring training.

I think he'll start off great and end with 30 HR/ 90 RBIs, his batting average will be close to .265 though.

He is usually a relatively slow starter (if last year was any indication). I think he'll have similar numbers again (provided he's healthy) but I woul expect him to set the world on fire in April and May. He'll start picking it up around June/July and finish with similar numbers to last year, with maybe a higher batting average. His OBP was off the charts and I expect it to be the same this year as well. He'll walk a lot.

He a notoriously slow starter actually. April is the only month where he hits less than .300 for his career and he puts up his lowest OBP and SLG marks in April as well.
I think Frank will be fine just as long as he stays healthy.

My prediction is that he gets around 30 HR's and 80 RBI.
