Do any of you pros out there have a feeling about anyone who was an unlikely draft pick who is having a good start to the season that you think will continue the the numbers, or is it still too early to tell anything? this is my first season of fantasy baseball sorry for being a noob

Generally its too early to tell. Try to think of it the other way around; Pujols has yet to hit a HR, are you going to panic and drop him?

What do you guys think of this new japanese guy, akinori Iwamura for tampa bay, he went 4/4 tonight 2 runs 1 hr and an RBI he seems to be hitting pretty well, and the season before he came to tampa in japan his numbers were great, rbi were low but he hit 100+ the 2 years before 2006
2006 stats: .311avg 32hr 77rbi 615ab 167hits 70bb 8sb

I drafted him in a few leagues, I expected him to do rather decently. I thought he would be fighting Upton for a lot of AB but having Cantu sent down really helps.

Iwamura will be a great production player. Good pick up.

To answer your original question, I think Sizemore is going to continue to have a good power output. He was projected at roughly 25 HR but I think he's going to put up closer to 35. Then again, he wasn't an unlikely pick.

Most sluggers are struggling. Probably the fact that they are trying to get a head start in hitting HR's might explain it.
