Will you be adjusting his plate appearences due to his hand, or is that already included?

Thanks

Already included.

We have him at 601 plate appearances now. Figure about 700 PA for a spot at the top of the order and we have already accounted for his missing time.

The reasoning is i feel it is better to err on the side of caution. I would rather have added 50 PA than taken away 50 if we started him at 650 or so.

I'm in Vegas at the NFBC now and he us being drafted as if he is an opening day starter, fully recovered and with his power and speed sure to return. The ceiling is high, as is the risk.
