its too early to be proclaiming "pickups of the year" or getting into pissing contests on whos going to have a stellar year...all this shite evens out by the end of the season. If you have room to add drop guys who are having hot starts then youre good to go. I picked up Konerko a while ago but Im not expecting 50 homers and 120 rbis this season.

people keep talking about his k's and he's going to come down to earth.. blah blah blah.. but um all i see is as guy who is leading the league in hitting.. and doesn't look to be slowing down any time soon.

and again he continues to hit.
he has 12 games with a hit or more in the past 13 games... so when exactly does this huge decline begin?

The point is that by October, he will be hitting at a realistic pace.
There are hard statistics that backup the claim. His incredibly high BABIP and his Strikeout % which all point to a batting average that will be WELL below his current mark.

i don't doubt you.. i guess i just need to see how this whole factoring in percentages with his strike out percentage affects his bat avg. i'll know soon enough. thanks for explaining tho.

It's just that guys with high K numbers don't put the ball in play so they limit their chance to get a hit. Also since his batting average for balls that he does put in play is something like .540 that number is going to come WAYYY down. That number is just completely unsustainable. For example, Tony Gwynn had a career .340 BABIP. I think the highest ever was Lou Brock in the 60s and it was .410.
Major league average is around .300 so if he dips down to even .340 you're talking about a huge dip in his BA which is only exacerbated by his K percentage.

He's only hitting .220 for the month of June and is now down to .308 for the year. Also steady decreases in OBP and SLG
