2010 Fantasy Baseball Projections

AB	R	H	HR	RBI	SB	BA	OBP	SLG	OPS
419	58	107	14	57	12	.255	.346	.396	.742

Downward slide from Russell Martin's 2008 continued in 2009, especially regarding HR/FB. Canadian added weight to restore power and is seeking consistent approach. Strong plate skills suggest BA rebound - that could stifle SB decline, too. View last year as his floor. Reaching 2007 heights won't happen but hitting 2008 marks isn't unrealistic. A groin strain will cost him Opening Day and maybe a little longer, but it doesn't add much risk to his middle-rounds value. He's not as attractive as some others in his tier, but there's enough upside to take him if a run starts.
