Has anyone else had a problem with Hunter not even coming close to stats? I have him in two leagues:

@ Angels Stadium (45 games) .211/.314/.349
@ Great American Ball Park (66 games) .245/.316/.400

If it was just one league I wouldn't think much of it, but two entirely different Stadiums....Any better options for GABP?

He always seems to under perform for me regardless of the season. Maybe it's the low OBP against righties or the pitcher's parks I play use.

I have him in two theme leagues with very different results (batting leadoff on both teams). The first theme has him as a member of the Twins:

@ Target Field (after 132 games): .267/.358/.475 with 25HR/62RBI. He also has 132 hits, 28 doubles and 75 runs scored.

@ Wrigley Field (after 90 games): .242/.309/.372 with 9HR/29RBI. He also has 93 hits, 21 doubles and 52 runs scored.

I don't try to steal bases with him, he's pretty bad. You would be lucky to have a 50% success rate.

Pretty decent for me in Turner Field as part of a 100M two team theme (Angels and Braves):

He's been solid for me in one league:

He is pretty disappointing for me in Citi presently...and I had such high hopes...

After 72 games/266 ABs, .237 .313 .384 with 10 HR, 31 RBI and 63 Ks. Also has hit into a lot of DPs. At 6.61mil I'd hoped for high OBP at least. Even against LHP he's only getting on base at a .321 clip. Then again, my entire squad has been tepid at the plate...I think I'm done wih Citi.

Alex Rios (a similar player) has been very disappointing for me. Apart from his 30 steals in 117 games (which is quite impressive) his OPS is in the .500s (extremely unimpressive).

Hunter has never been a high OBP guy. He basically gives you good defense, with decent SLG, and even his AVG is just that, average.
