Saunders is an interesting one. Lots of talent, but he's always been very brittle. He has also struggled against lefties in his career, though I think he was better last year. He strikes out too much, as well.

He's good in the field - decent range, good arm, good instincts. If he plays 120 games (a longshot I think), he could hit 20 HR, 65 RBI, and .250/.325/.425.

I can't wait for the fans and journalists to proclaim that Saunders is "coming home to Canada", when in actual fact he's moving very very far away from home (Seattle is 100 km from Victoria, Toronto is over 4000).
