Saunders was a bit above average last year, but the prior years were about average (slightly below)

Yeah, he's not a super-star but he is an above average baseball player... just like Melky was (and he only costs 25% of what Melky will end up making this year) Gotta take into account the park effects, he'll be moving from playing half his games in the 30th ranked hitting environment to a top 10 hitting environment (Plus the added away games at homer friendly Yankee Stadium and Fenway).
