Holy hell - it seemed like only a couple weeks ago he was at 31 value - now he's at 42 and has just blown past Albert and Votto, as well as Halliday and Wainwright, to lead the NL in $ value.

An epic July/August - .364 BA, 1.160 OPS, 17 HR, 9 SB, 45 RBI, 40 Runs. I suspect he earned his projected $18 on those two months alone, with the other 4 months being gravy.

So with CarGo at a 6b going into next year, I'll have to extend him. 16x seems no-brainer. 21w pretty reasonable. Should I make him our league's first "v" player at 26?

Well - not hitting on the road if you exclude Pittsburgh.

Last week in PNC Park he went 9 for 18, with 2 HR, 5 RBI, and 3 SB.

A little scary that so much of the production is coming at home. He's not hitting on the road at all.

In case he wasn't already - CarGo is establishing himself as an elite.

His last 2 weeks (including today after 2 ABs) is the performance of roto-legend:

.640 BA, 8 HR, 15 RBI, 5 SB

And his trip to Pittsburgh seems to be curing his road ails.

No reason for the Rockies to even begin to think of trading him ... looks to be a lock solid rotostud for a few years at least.

Not surprising that he gets a MASSIVE OPS jump at Coors (.967 v .692), but odd that his K rate goes up 250% and his walk rate is cut in half on the road. Perhaps he still has problems with the curve, and in the thin air of Denver the breaking ball doesn't break as much?

AND, oddly enough, no walks until the last three games, in which he's walked twice. We own both Fowler and CarGo at $5, with the the option of extending both next year. So far, switching Gonzalez to 5th has been money for both of them.

The big money question for me is do the Rox keep Young in the majors for the whole season.

With Hawpe out and Eric Young up, moved to the 5-slot ... where he might add some serious RBI totals to his likely 20-20 numbers. If he gets to bat behind RBI machines Helton and Tulo from here out, and still gets the green light on the basepaths (two HR/SB games this week), he'll end up a top 10 offensive roto player in NL leagues this year.

I'm not buying the hype. He still K's too much and doesn't walk. The OF is crowded in Rockieland.

yeah mike, i sometimes forget most keeper leagues keep 8+. Mine only keeps 5, and I had to throw him back due to an excess of options. Bought him for $19, but this is in a 12 team mixed league. Inflation was very high though, despite the small number of keeps.

I like this guy a lot, but beware. The story of his 2010 season will be his GB rate as lefty and his FB rate as a righty. We could see a major drop in average and homers. They look pretty extreme at Minor league baseball splits.
