Kotchman Straight Raking

Casey Kotchman has been on fire all season long. If he is still considered to be flying under the radar, he won't be able to much longer.

Kotchman went 3 for 4 with two doubles Wednesday night against the A's and also knocked in 3 runs. He is now 12 for his last 31 and is going to be batting in the cleanup spot against righties, according to Rotoworld.

Yes, he was dubbed as a GOTOS fave coming into the season. I'm in agreement with a post commenter; if I didn't want this site to progress, I would hope that my leaguemates would never find GOTOS. The info on this site just proves again and again to be that damn good.

yes, kotchman is the real deal. as an angels fan, he has been my favorite player for a few years now, and i'm glad to see he finally is fulfilling his capabilities.

last week, scioscia finally made the move to move kotch up in the batting order, as garret anderson continued to struggle. however, it's not just righties he is hitting well.. he is also raking left-handed pitching. he has a very good understanding of the strike zone and has a great plate approach.

i don't see him maintaining his 30+ HR pace this season, but 25 bombs is well within reach, despite what all the naysayers say. not to mention he will bat .300+.
