Infante - 50 Game Suspension...

No, but some of you weren't surprised when you first read the subject line, and I'm sure one or two of you may have even crapped your pants. :D

Seriously, how long will this last???

There's two ways to look at it....

One- He only hit seven home runs last year, but six of them came during the last two months of the year.
This could foretell that he's found a 'power stroke'.

Two- Even last year, four of his seven homers came in two games. Meaning that his power comes in spurts.
He could just as easily have a four month stretch where he only hits one home run like last year.
On my tombstone-
Wait! I never had the perfect draft!

Very funny Poopy, I just bid around $400 for Infante didn't want to read that! :)

He may be on Flinstone vitamins like Sammy Sosa said he was...

It will definitely be interesting to see how it turns out.
I want to say, 12 possibly, but you never know!

Yes, I'm all in on Infante, although now I am very limited in funds for my OC league. I'm not doing so hot in that league as it is with Ellsbury gone now so I needed someone. My head says 15 HRs for him this year, my heart says 35. :)

I just picked up Infante for $70 FAAB and dropped Alexi Casilla for him. He does hit his HR's in bunches(I believe his multi-HR game other night was 7th time he did it in career) but I didn't get him for the power(although I won't give back any HR's he gives me :roll: ). Can't see him becoming a slugger after having only 56 career HR in 3197 AB's with only one year(2004-16 HR) in double digits. I got him for his BA; looking for 295+ which gives me a cushion to add a low BA/HR guy in FAAB later in the yr if I need one. 8-)

I remember when Ryan Theriot hit 2 Hrs and everyone was saying how he found some power stroke.

It's two weeks into the season. Wait until July
