March 14, 200521 yr Hideki Matsui (AL HR Champ) 709209[/snapback] :lol :lol :lol :lol :lol I'd say Zack Greinke and Casey Fossum. Reyes if he can stay healthy and Wright.
March 14, 200521 yr I like Greinke but he has had some trouble this spring. He and the pitching coach there have been working on his mechanics some. I think he will have a decent year but I see his breakout year coming in 2006.
March 14, 200521 yr justin morneau is going to have a huge year, barring injury. david wright as well.
March 15, 200521 yr I'm gonna go with someone on the Indians. Take your pick. Any of those young'ns could.

Reyes if he can stay healthy and Wright. 709598[/snapback] Care to explain why thats so funny, there arent really any true power hitters in the AL anymore... Matsui has gotten much better every year in the majors, he's looked to pull a lot more, plus it is a contract year, why is that so impossible? As for your Reyes pick... :lol :lol :lol :lol :lol

As for your Reyes pick... :lol :lol :lol :lol :lol 711028[/snapback] Reyes pick > Matsui AL HR pick Reyes has the potential, he's just been hurt. That the difference between Reyes and Matsui, Matsui just wont produce a huge HR season in the Majors, Don't expect Mastui to out homer , Vlad, Manny, Ortiz,or even Teixeira...
March 15, 200521 yr Aaron Rowand.... I'm thinking 30/30 club and gold glove caliber defense. 710846[/snapback] Yet another young guy in the Central who is due for a breakout.
March 15, 200521 yr I say... Rafael Furcal, contract year, and Soriano should do better out of the leadoff spot this season... of coures dont expect another 2004 season out of chipper... maybe even Mondesi or Jordan the way theve been swinging this spring, and duh there on the Braves now...

Period.

March 16, 200521 yr We shall see. For the record though, Id like to Reyes play one healthy season before saying he is better than Matsui. Unfortunately that will never happen.

As for your Reyes pick... :lol :lol :lol :lol :lol 711028[/snapback] Matsui isn't a bad player, but there are a lot more pure HR hitters in the AL than Matsui (for example Manny Ramirez, David Ortiz, Adrian Beltre, Aubrey Huff, Mart Teixeira, Hank Blaylock, Vlad Guerrero etc.). As for Reyes, he seems to be one of the most popular picks here, he's very young, has a world of talent, and has shown flashes of brilliance at the ML level. If he's healthy, he'll be the type of catalyst at the top of the order that will drive pitchers and catchers crazy.
September 28, 200520 yr Author I felt like bumping this. Lets see how predictions did Aaron Rowand.... I'm thinking 30/30 club and gold glove caliber defense. .272, 12 HR, 66 RBI, 16 SB.... D'oh! My vote goes to Aramis Ramirez.. I think he's going to put #s similiar to Adrian Beltre last year. Got hurt.. didn't put up Beltre '04 numbers but was having a real nice year. D'oh for 2!
September 28, 200520 yr Rafael Furcal. Watchout for Jeremy Bonderman too. .285/12/58/46 For Furcal. He was just a good part of the puzzle for him, nothing breakout. 14-13, 4.57 ERA, 145 K's Spectacular at times, down right awful at others. Good bump Brodie.
September 28, 200520 yr Anyway I'll say: Juan Encarnacion because this guy needs to step up otherwise I will never like him again. Andruw Jones. WE HAVE A WINNER
September 28, 200520 yr How about Abreu doing 40-40 this year, but I guess he's sort of established already. I'll go with Matt Holliday...he's got some pop and he plays in Coors, what more could you ask for? Does the home-run derby count? Holliday's .305, 18, 82 and 12 SB's aren't bad.
