“In line for some regression after a breakout season (xBA was .260 and Leyland won't run AJax enough to make his stolen base potential come to fruition)”

“Austin Jackson is a low-end Drew Stubbs type of player but with a .300 batting average. A-Jax will always be a great source of runs, and his power ranges in the 15+ area. The problem is his speed does not cut it and 20+ SBs would be an amazing season at this point for Austin, to go along with that 20 HR potential.”
