Though Hafner I can't predict great things from, he's had problems with his shoulder since the beginning of the year and that's not the kind of thing you can come back from with a 2 week DL stint. He's probably going to be struggling all year. I'd try and trade him away for 50 cents on the dollar to someone that believes. @Sky: Garko already seems to be coming back from his tough start.

I like Ordonez and know Cabrera is a great hitter but Renteria scares me because he struggled so bad in the American league previously.

His value is low b/c he's been benched twice. I'd still rank him #1 on that list but he's closer to the pack than opening day. I'd rank the rest as McLouth, Gomez, Gutierrez, Pie. McLouth is playing well and I think will get to 12 HR / 30 SB or something like that. Gomez has great speed but that's it. I can see him getting into a bad slump and being sent down. That said, I'm kicking myself for not dropping pierre on april 1st and picking up gomez instead. Gutierrez is high on Grey's list but I don't think he projects to more than 15 HR / 10 SB this year. I prefer Melky to him. I'm just going to avoid bad puns and say that Pie shouldn't be considered outside NL-only leagues right now. Hold onto Kemp for now.

His minor league career isn't very impressive. He got hit hard in AA in 2006 (4.43 ERA/1.35 WHIP) and, despite a very impressive ERA/WHIP in AAA in 2007 (2.11 ERA/0.98 WHIP), he got VERY lucky with a .255 BABIP. His ERA should've been 3.62 which would equate to a 4.50+ ERA in MLB. Add to that only 57Ks in 110 2/3 IP. I'd prefer Slowey if I had to pick the lesser evil of the young twin pitchers. Bill Hall. Man did he suck for me last year. He's due for a turnaround this year and the stat line you put up there isn't that far out of the realm. I think .265/20/75/5 is more likely though. If he had SS eligibility, I'd like him a lot more. With 3B and OF, I don't have him as draftable on anything but Razzball. Anyone that has ever owned Hall can tell you this, when this guy is on a cold streak, he's fuh-rigid.... Haven't paid attention to Yost's lineups but if Corey Hart hits like he's projected to hit, he'll be hitting 2nd or 5th in short order... Sight unseen, I don’t like Blackburn at all.

He is back at 3B this year, hitting behind Prince and Braun, ahead of Hart. That 35 HR season looks like a fluke, but he could get plenty of RBI chances hitting 5th or 6th in that lineup. Could he post a .270/25/85/10 type season? His BB/K rate is ugly. I'm not asking because he lit up Jonathan Sanchez and the Giant pen today. He's been on my radar since Ned Yost took a page out of Tonyball with his bizzaro lineup card. Why is Corey Hart not hitting 2nd or 5th? That is more of a rhetorical question. <em>Herb Urban's last blog post..<a href='http://www.herburban.com/?p=3024' rel="nofollow">“Mexican whore houses, Pesky Pole, Dr. Drew Pinksy”</a></em> What are your thoughts on Bill Hall in deeper leagues?

I will be watching closely in his next jaunt to the mound, since they develop pitchers extremely well in that organization.
