Is he a bad card?? I take him tinking he will be a nice sluging 1b, but he has been a waste of money. I have been only 14 games but i´m tinking if i have to dump him no wait too long. Any advise.

I had him in mm and he was fine dont expect good ba or obp but he will hit his share of hrs

I think he is a good bargain in the right leagues. He hit 60 HR in my first 2006 league. The problem is the LH parks and Petco don't help him too much, and you have a chence of catching a half dozen or so of those parks in any league without unique stadium requirements.

Dude - you are in Coors. He has only 46 ABs at home, and is hitting at the Mendoza Line. This is going to turn around abruptly, and he will have big numbers in the end.

IIRC, he still has something like 8 natural HRs vs-L, in addition to the 8 BPHRs. You might just drop him down in the lineup when on the road in pitchers' parks.

I didn´t drop him, but this is a crazy stuff

He started very slowly for me, but has finished OK....

I agree with assessment above, in the leagues i have seen him in, he hits 35-45 hrs and drives in 100+, but his average and OBP are usually poor....
