Extra Innings

Some thoughts on some players that look really good and whether they will keep up their pace for the 2nd half of the season.

Josh Hamilton: He’s the real deal. He’s on pace for remarkable numbers so I do expect a bit of a drop off but hes a top outfielder.

Adrian Gonzalez: Even though the Dodgers are my team, I just love how Gonzo plays. He’s a sweet hitter and even though Petco hurts him, he’s still very useful away from home. Play matchups with him in H2H leagues.

Milton Bradley: Maybe it’s my Dodger bias, but I am never sold on this guy. I wouldn’t be too comfortable hanging on to him as you just never know what will happen in the future.

Carlos Quentin He’s already beginning to drop off, especially in the average department. His power may stay due to playing in that bandbox ballpark, but the RBIs and average will not stay on pace.

Nate Mclouth: I’m iffy on this one, I do believe the possibility of him dropping off is very likely, but he does pack great potential. I would say hang on to him, because it probably didn’t cost you too much to get him.
