Do players on the slide lead their league in HRs with less than 600 PAs? As you would say, thats a really tough crowd there in Tampa. :-)
Its more likely that 2007, the bad BABIP, and poor CT rates are giving fans this impression. Pena is pretty much another Adam Dunn. The only difference is that he can actually field a position well and he has a tad more pop (.300ish IsoP since breaking out as opposed to .270ish).
I mean, if you were interested in Dunn, why wouldn't you be interested in Pena? Hes a better player who fits a bigger need (1B), hes cheaper with less market value apparently, hes only 6 months older, and hes AL-proven.
