Encarnacion

Is it the stadium? Lineup? Bad luck? I expected a little more from him.

Pretty small sample size. Having said that, I'm glad you're not in my division

give him some time, he can be a beast

what you and I consider a beast must be very different...

I averaged out Encarcion is all my completed league and this is what he gets on average:

The good, and average of 44 HR

BA AVG 0.257
OBP AVG 0.353
SLG AVG 0.529
OPS AVG 0.883

The problem is the splits. He average a .720 OPS vs RHP and over 1.000 vs LHP. And since on average you face 70% RHP.....

I have yet to be in a league this season where I faced less than 40% lefty starters. Encarnacion won't carry your team, but if you're slanted heavy towards righties he can almost single handedly make you decent vs lefties. Having said that, the one time he fell to me in the draft, he was my first cut for waivers

58 HR 134 RBI .287 .386 .623

Most recent league completed, Encarnacion. Missed on Moss and got Encar, turned out the better part of the deal. Also have him on championship team has 6 homer and 12 ribbies in first 12 games. So yeah, I would consider these numbers quite impressive
