While I think he'll be big for Seattle this year, you probably won't find him on my fantasy roster (if I find myself in position, I'm probably not doing so hot).

Anyway, I was coming at it more from a fantasy angle. He's one of those guys that's never on the winning team at the end of the year. He's like a skinny Adam Dunn. (Then again, I took Dunn to a championship last year. Hmmm...) I would think watching someone strikeout twice as much as he walks, you’d be calling for his head, not defending him.

He was very good to me as a waiver pickup in 2003 and 2005. Of course, he was a major bust in '04 and '06, but I refused to draft him early. <br/><br/>He can still mash LHP, but he is pretty much an afterthought on the wrong side of 30. It is a shame Jimy Williams jerked him around in Houston for years. His patience and power suggest he could have had a very good big league career. Same could be said for his former and future teammate Jason Lane. There must be something in the water down in Houston. I hope Chris Burke gets his chance in Arizona before time runs out on him too.
