| Should only get better in '10 |
His BABIP was over 20 points below league average... a .270-.280 batting average is a very reasonable expectation, and therefore, he should only increase in value.
An argument could be made that the SB output was an aberration, but that would be difficult considering that he was only thrown out 4 of 24 times. I probably expect a SB dropoff, but not much.
Very solid #2 who could post first round numbers.

... he comes in as the #1 OF in fantasy baseball for 2008... and why not? 7 HRs, 26 RBI, 19 R, .330 AVG, 3 SBs in 115 ABs. This guy has shown 5-tool potential and, playing in Arlington's band-box, he is definitely worth a pick as your #4, #5.
Still too indeterminate to get more excited than that right now... he is probably more of a .270-.280 hitter, but the power explosion looks promising.
Look at his 2007 if you need help to counter the hype.
