And his low average is mainly just the product of well-hit liners finding gloves. If I had to make a guess on Clement... assuming he shows consistency along with his significant power... you could bring him up in 2008, but he would still need another year of adjustment and development before you could begin to fathom the expectation of him holding down a key lineup role. And that assumes you're willing to give him consistent playing time, and that's no guarantee. And that's just a loosely educated guess.

His average is down this year in a very small sample size but his .728 OPS would be helpful in our lineup if only marginally.

All I could think about when I saw J-Lo hit the warning track shot off of Lackey(even he thought it was gone) was about our lack of right handed power in a ballpark that demands it. It's pretty frustrating as a fan that we all need we need left handed power, and we can't even look to our farm system for help. If you're running the FO don't you consider left handed power prospects of high importance? Why haven't we aquired any? That being said, and keeping away from wishing for trades, I think we are showing the worst-case scenario atm. Unfortunately it feels like Raul and Sexy are here to stay, so we need those two guys in particular to pick it up. They should be providing power against the RHP's and if/when they get on track we should improve at least a bit in this category. WOW… great info!
