His offensive numbers should be down in Oakland in '09. But, if he finds a way to stay with his career pace (read: over deliver), he'll receive a Teixeira'ish payout in 2010. Two things…

Holliday wasn't a terrible road hitter he just hit way better at home. Hamilton's production really dropped off in the second half last year and RBI is the most volatile of all the 5x5 stats.

That's why first round is in quotes. Knox Chris,

That’s a good point, and I don’t think that he is. That’s why first round is in quotes.
