I'm thinking he can be like Xavier Nady and negate the need to trade for the real McCoy. BTW, now that Johan Santana is a Mets, the Padres should look up Darrell May just for the home series against the Metropolitans.<p class="top-comments">Current score: <span class="top-comments-karma" id="karma-144741">0</span> <small>(to vote for this comment, please visit the site)</small></p> 410 PA’s .263/.330/.431, and hopefully with plenty of XBHs.

He'll win the majority of time, eventually stacking up .276/.333/.474 over 420 ABs with 18 HRs, 22 2Bs & 58 RBI.<p class="top-comments">Current score: <span class="top-comments-karma" id="karma-144737">0</span> <small>(to vote for this comment, please visit the site)</small></p> I don’t think K.T. is going to come up with anything better than Hairy.

I remember Pudge and others said they went on great diets. I guess they "did yoga," too.

I'm very pleased to hear that CY is doing core strengthening workouts. I've been doing something similar (far less intense I'm sure) and I've been very pleased with the results. It should help him prevent injury and may even add a little extra zip to his fastball. CY at 91 mph is very good, CY at 94mh will be overpowering. He has the most unhittable stuff in the majors; if he stays healthy and strong all year he will absolutely contend for the Cy Young.<p class="top-comments">Current score: <span class="top-comments-karma" id="karma-144719">0</span> <small>(to vote for this comment, please visit the site)</small></p> Some great links in here guys, nice job all around.

But "yoga" was one of the explanations for why so many players (including Nevin) magically dropped 25 pounds when serious testing started a few years ago. It didn't quite reach the status of "I decided to try to get more ground balls instead of strikeouts" or "I'm in the best shape of my life" among baseball cliches, but it was in that neighborhood. I wasn't referring to CY's yoga in that light.<p class="top-comments">Current score: <span class="top-comments-karma" id="karma-144709">0</span> <small>(to vote for this comment, please visit the site)</small></p> 33: Oh, I know CY is doing it, and I really hope it helps.

Too bad he doesn't have Sanders' speed, though. Hairston will have to make adjustments if he's in the lineup more often. If not, we could be seeing a lot of Chase Headley out in LF. I have made my statistical predictions for the projected '08 starting lineup on my site. These predictions (.247-17-51) are based on Hairston getting the majority of the playing time but not based on him making adjustments and having a great season. If he shows he can make adjustments (similar to what Kevin Kouzmanoff did in '07), he deserves 500 AB's and I think he's capable of coming closer to a season like this: .275-26-85. Here are my predictions for the rest of the lineup: http://www.sdpadrefan.com/statistical%20predictions%20for%202008.html<p class="top-comments">Current score: <span class="top-comments-karma" id="karma-144682">0</span> <small>(to vote for this comment, please visit the site)</small></p> Regarding Hairston, I like the Reggie Sanders comparison.
