Kevin Mench

[jmw1137]

He had an awesome spring...leading the team and much of the league in almost every stat. He started slow...got hurt (which turned out to be wearing spikes that were too small) but is finally heating up. I drafted him every league and was somewhat regretting it until a few days ago. Here's what he's done recently:

- 7 game hitting streak
- 3 HRs in 3 last games (including 1 grand slam)
- 12 RBIs (in last 4 games)

He is a great hitter and hopefully this is just the start of him having a great year. If he's on the FA wire in your fantasy league pick him up!!

And he went to University of Delaware! Represent!

Re: Kevin Mench

Sure did. I played high school ball against Mench, and one year of Legion ball with him. He was never really a power hitter until he started playing for Delaware.

Kid has a huge head.

Re: Kevin Mench

I expect Mech to hit for better average with a little better power this season. Basically, I expect his stats to almost mirror Jermaine Dye's stats last year.

.275 avg, 30 jacks, 80-100 ribbis....it's nothing to laugh at. Mench has some talent.

How did he not realize his shoe was too small?

Re: Kevin Mench

Of course that ballpark he plays in will help...

Re: Kevin Mench

Another stellar night...3 for 4....1 HR....2 RBI....6TB and now a 10 game hitting streak!

[jmw1137]

Re: Kevin Mench

And it continues tonight...

1 for 3, HR (5 straight games with HR), 2 RBI, 4TB

Re: Kevin Mench

Continues with a GS today.

Re: Kevin Mench

7th straight game with a HR....just set the record for most games in a row with a homerun by a right-handed batter. If he hits one tomorrow he'll tie the all-time record.

Tonight's HR came with 2 strikes and he golfed one out in left. This has been very fun to watch...I hope he can get to 8 or 9!

Re: Kevin Mench

Since I picked up Brandon Phillips and put Mench into my lineup (drafted him and he rode the pine while he sucked), my team has been steadily rising. In 3rd now in my roto league.

Re: Kevin Mench

From Yahoo fantasy baseball news:

Apr 29 Texas Rangers OF Kevin Mench saw his streak of seven consecutive games with a home run end Saturday, April 29, against the Cleveland Indians, according to Tom Withers of the Associated Press. However, two less publicized streaks of his remained intact: Mench currently has at least one RBI in his last nine games, and he is also in the middle of a career-best 13-game hitting streak.

Re: Kevin Mench

I hate Kevin Mench. I probably lost $500 last season finishing 2nd in my fantasy league when he hit that line-drive off of Halladay's leg.
