A three-year upward trend finally saw Andre Ethier's power breakout. Appeared to sacrifice some of his near-.300 average for dingers (more K's, less contact, fewer hits but higher HR/FB); easiest correction for average could come if he improves lefty and road BA. He's done both in the past, only for short stretches; increased exposure to lefties should pay off. He's drafted toward the end of the top 20 mixed outfielders, but his potentially elite return in the non-steals categories could make it tough to snag him without reaching a bit.
