His second half performance where he hit

NewYork GiantsBeanie Wells - Arizona Cardinals - atTennesseeJonathan Stewart - Carolina Panthers - at NewYork JetsDoes Adrian Peterson belong in the top spot With the way Brett Favre is playing right now, I don’t know that it’s a guarantee the team just hands the ball to Peterson and let him do his thing. That’s exactly what makes them such a dangerous offense, but it does knock Peterson down a small notch. Still, he’s the best back in the game and it’s tough not to go with him at No 1. I know seeing Ricky Williams so high makes us think this list is outdated by a few years. Just look at his performance in Week 11 and the fact that he gets to take on the Bills, one of the worst ground defenses in the league. He easily could be in store for another big week. No matter what defense he’s facing, Ray Rice needs to be ranked among the best RB in the league due to his ability in the passing game He’s going to get his yards one way or another. The early word on Brandon Jacobs and Marshawn Lynch is that they will both be fine to play in Week 12. Keep an eye on the news, just in case, but we did not drop them in the rankings. Clinton Portis is still out and now Ladell Betts may be sidelined for the season. That gives Rock Cartwright a chance to be the main back and should be usable in FLEX formats.What are your thoughts Who was left off the list Who should be higher Who should be lowerOther Week 12 Rankings: QuarterbacksThis article is also featured on For years we have been hearing about the promise of Billy Butler, though he had never quite lived up to the hype.Well, at least until 2009, when he got his first full season in the Major Leagues and posted the following line:608 At-Bats .301 Batting Average (183 Hits) 21 Home Runs 93 RBI 78 Runs 1 Stolen Base .362 On-Base Percentage .492 Slugging Percentage .335 Batting Average on Balls in PlayThe power has always been his biggest question mark, but at 23 years old, he finally appeared to put things together. His fly ball rate was consistent with what he had done during the parts of 2007 (32.6 percent) and 2008 (34.6 percent), as he posted a 34.6 percent mark.What rose significantly, besides his at-bats, was his HR/FB, going from 8.2 percent to 11.9 percent.

At 6′2″ and 240 pounds, would it surprise anyone to see him continue to add power, turning some of those doubles into home runs for the 2010 season He did hit 30 HR in 2005, splitting time between Single and Double-A, so the power is certainly there.Hitting in the middle of the Royals lineup, he will be in position to once again drive in plenty of runs He spent 503 at-bats in the No. 3 hole, where he hit .306 with 19 HR and 81 RBI.The runs scored are not elite, but with a healthy Jose Guillen and an improved lineup, he easily could score a few more. Remember, for all of his flaws, Guillen did have 196 RBI between 2007 and 2008, though was limited to just 281 AB in 2009. It’s a bat that was sorely missed and could easily lead to a few more runs scored for Butler, assuming he is not traded.The average did come from a slightly inflated BABIP of .335, but it should not be considered unrealistic for him to hit in the .300 range.First of all, he makes good contact with a career strikeout rate of 15.6 percent.

The more you put the ball in play, the better chance you have to get hits, obviously.Additionally, if you are to believe that he is going to increase his power, those will be more hits that are not in play. Therefore, he could maintain a higher batting average even if his BABIP were to regress slightly.With all that said, let’s take a look at what I would project Butler at for 2009:.311 (182-for-585), 29 HR, 105 RBI, 85 R, 1 SB, .330 BABIP, .379 OBP, .535 SLGAs you can see, I’m a believer in Butler’s potential and think that what we saw in 2009 was just the beginning of things to come from the young slugger. His second half performance, where he hit .314 with 13 HR and 55 RBI in 287 AB, is something that he could easily use as a springboard to superstardom.We’ve all heard about the skill, and in his second full season, I fully believe that he’s going to show us just how good he truly is. I see him developing into a must own player in all formats and is going to be a great selection in all drafts, assuming you don’t have to reach too far in order to get him.What are your thoughts Am I being overly optimistic How good do you think Butler will be in 2010Check out some previous 2010 projections, including:Gordon Beckham Kevin Correia Alcides Escobar Matt Wieters THIS ARTICLE IS ALSO FEATURED ON Russia "The industrial sector does not understand that theirdisobedience can blow the entire system," Jahnatek told a newsconference.
