Nick Markakis

So how about this kid Nick Markakis? According to Austin Swafford of the Most Valuable Network, the Orioles' Markakis is "one of the hottest hitters in the American League. Since the end of May, Markakis is batting .364, with 10 homeruns and 37 RBI." Those are some mighty impressive numbers. What kind of MLB future does this Markakis fella have?

I don't like his swing... not built for power numbers. He might hit for average, but I can't see him raking up 40 homers in a season.

But I've been wrong before.

Decided to take a gamble and picked up the kid on my fantasy team. Even benched Brian Giles so that Markakis could start. Here's hoping this experiment works... I've got a league title to defend!
