Jim Thome might be one of the least-written about players in my recaps, probably because I'm not one of those people who goes apoplectic when I look at batting averages (especially in April). I expect him to put up a .400 OBP and a .500+ slugging, and he delivers. It's not the most consistent .400/.500+, but I can live with inconsistent excellence from a future Hall of Famer.
