His future is in the bullpen. He's one of the game's best hitters. He's got good power and obviously, he can hit for average. He's coming off a good year when he hit .320 with 35 home runs last season for the Rockies. Not bad for a second-season player.
Most players slump after a great first season.
Hernandez should be a concern. He is for the Yankees. Neagle will be fine. Cone pitches tonight in Texas, and he's made good progress in his last five starts, including getting a win Thursday vs. Oakland at home. I get the feeling that Cone is going to pull out of his year-long slump.
