Posted April 22, 200520 yr Juan has been flat out awesome for us so far. This is as good as he has played in a Marlin uniform. Like many here, I wanted to see him traded for about anything during the offseason yet keeping him on the roster has proven to be a key move early on and at this pace he is certainly making himself worth that paycheck. Props to Enc and let him keep adding up his RBI count and keep helping bring W's. :thumbup :notworthy
April 22, 200520 yr I too, was one of the people who wanted Encarnacion traded or benched, whatever to not see him play and "ruin our chances". Hes turned into an RBI machine, and has definetely proved himself. It just goes to show you that you cant judge a player before a season begins. If we had traded Enc, we would have missed out on some runs. Go Encarnacion!
April 22, 200520 yr I still think we should trade him now while his value is high. I would hate to see him go playing this well, but i cant believe itll last all year.

And the fact that he's become significantly more patient shows that he is likely to maintain this success. If he's swinging at mostly strikes then I think he'll continue to do extremely well.

April 22, 200520 yr I said he would have a big year but lets not go apologizing to him yet.... some other April wonders last year: (dont worry about MLVR) Batter Year AVG OBP SLG MLVR Barry Bonds 2004 .472 .696 1.132 1.481 Charles Johnson 2004 .333 .458 .875 .848 Lew Ford 2004 .419 .471 .710 .784 Adam Dunn 2004 .328 .538 .750 .767 Sean Casey 2004 .414 .458 .667 .698 Jim Thome 2004 .364 .456 .714 .682 Moises Alou 2004 .361 .400 .735 .645 Manny Ramirez 2004 .388 .448 .647 .617 Laynce Nix 2004 .365 .397 .714 .617 Ron Belliard 2004 .417 .500 .548 .582

April 22, 200520 yr I told all you guys he was going to be awesome since this was his first year back from shoulder surgery :thumbup .
April 22, 200520 yr When I started the FAVORITE/ LEAST FAVORITE MARLIN LIST- Juan E. was #1. I agree with some people...I will apologize at the end of the year.
April 22, 200520 yr enc is hitting great right but man it's way to early to start putting up MVP signs and stuff like that. let the man have a great full year then he can start asking for apologies
April 22, 200520 yr I'll apologize at the All Star break 751133[/snapback] I agree. If you he continues to show the patience he has shown so far this season, he will continue to hit well, but I just don't see that happening. Players don't go from free swingers to having good patience over night.
April 22, 200520 yr As if anything he has done in three weeks can make up for a career worth of disappointments. That said, go Enc and go Marlins.
April 22, 200520 yr a-gon goes on hot streaks all the time, then goes back into endless slumps.. its just 3 weeks people.... lets look at his stats when we hit the ASB.
April 22, 200520 yr Haters 751429[/snapback] dude, you know its true.... it's a great start, but it would be nice if he can keep this up for a few months
April 22, 200520 yr Ya never know The eye surgery seems to have helped more than the shoulder surgery.
April 22, 200520 yr Haters 751429[/snapback] dude, you know its true.... it's a great start, but it would be nice if he can keep this up for a few months 751439[/snapback] Why apologize if he ends up hitting .230 or .240?
