                    Ibanez - HR/FB rates out the roof
                    McLouth - the signs for this were there last August/September
                    Gregg - simple regression theory made him a deep sleeper
                    Moore - hello crazy run support
                    Colon - throws a ton of strikes, doesn't hurt himself with walks, and embraces his home park
                    Davis - change in process and a league that continues to pitch to him.

                      In order:

                      1. Deal with the devil? (Ibanez)
                      2. He is getting on base. He always had speed. (McLouth)
                      3. Small sample size. (Gregg)
                      4. The random luck of wins. (Moore)
                      5. 100-game suspension coming. (Colon)
                      6. He's cut down the K's some, although they are still high, and he's cut down the pop-ups as well. The light-tower power was always there. (Davis)

                          Ummm... I'm pretty sure I thought I was keeping Ike Davis when I made up my PONY keeper list. I possibly went all of last year thinking I had Ike and not Chris on my team. I possibly didn't know they were two different people.

                            I GOT Colon in the reserve draft - in our AL only league waiting for the suspension to come at any time but I will ride the wave as long as I can...
