seems like hes going to get alot of playing time and be possibly in the 2 slot. What kind of numbers do you think he could put up this season and will he be more valueble in a one year league then Frank Thomas.

I think the OF eligibility will definitely help make him more valuable than Thomas. He may not put up the same HR or RBI numbers but he should hit for a higher average, score a ton of runs (especially if he is hitting #2) and he is going to steal a lot of bases. I could see him as a 15-15/20-20 guy depending on his playing time and how well his bat plays to the new stadium. I have him on one keeper league and although I probably won't keep him, I expect a decent season out of him. Here are his projected totals:
James: .286/.350/.463, 21 steals in 538 at-bats
Shandler: .287/.338/.455, 13 steals in 390 at-bats
ZIPS: .276/.360/.462, 7 steals in 392 at-bats
Weighted Mean PECOTA: .290/.359/.480, 15 steals in 380 PA
Sickel: .285/.338/.459

Those are pretty good stat lines and I think he is going to be closer to James' projected # of ABs than anyone else. I see 450-500 plate appearances for him this season. mahalo
