Yeah, that Micah’s got power to burn. I drafted Reynolds, on my team that rewards hitters who strikeout:

Reynolds is such a wild card this year. I feel like he is burning a hole in my roster, but I can’t cut him because of the home run potential. Their manager says he has the 2nd most power on the team, behind….

Micah Owings.

Hi, Rudy! It’s hard to tell what to expect from Haren - he’s moving to the NL, but on the other hand, is also going to a much-more hitter friendly park. He was off the charts in the first half last year, but flagged noticeably down the stretch - the reality is probably somewhere between those two. I have him down for 3.45, 15-9, 1.26, so that’s in line with your predictions.

As for Snyder, he had a great second half, and has been batting much higher up the order this spring, often as high as fifth, so it seems that Melvin has a lot of confidence in him. I don’t think he’ll be quite as high as Barrett, but 260, 13 HR, 55 RBI is possible, and if he is higher up the order, the RBI total could be higher still.

hey jim -
thanks for the update from AZ!

i’ve got Haren in 2 leagues and Snyder in 1. Hoping Haren could at least get 15 W / 3.50/1.22/180K. I think Snyder has potential to put up a year like Michael Barrett did at his peak - .280/70/20/70.

what do you think?
