I have Brian Roberts on a couple of my teams, so saying i am jelous i watsed a pick on a top tier 2B makes no sense.
Next thing, 40/40 is so ABSURD its not even funny. When I projected him as a top 3 2B, I said that is AT BEST what he could do, but i don't think he will. He is not going to hit 20 Homers, he will be lucky if he hits 15 homers. He has had 2 great weeks, not month. 2 weeks. He won't steal more then 30 bases, he never has and the Orioles don't run that much to begin with, and once all the oriles mashers start hitting homers, Mazzeli wil be more inclined to have Roberts wait to be driven in rather steal every time he gets on base. This guy is a classic example of sell high, he will fall off, Roberts has done this before, i remember one month last season he had a huge hot streak and stole like 10+ bases in one month hitting over 350, then he had a stretch where he hit like 220. People who think he is just going to keep up this magic all year, are compltely crazy, i'm sorry to say.
He is not going to hit more then 15 homers or steal more then 30 bases or hit over 300 or hit 100 rbi.
100 runs? that is the only lock for brian roberts
100 runs
12 homers
60 rbi
30sb
285avg
is about what you should expect at the end of the year, trade him now to the people who think he is going to go 40/40 or 30/30, they are the ppl who end up at the bottom of the standings at the end of the season.
