Nerio Watch

Nerio, in true power hitting form went 0-4 during the AM cycle. This comes on the heel of a red letter night for the Wahoos outfielder. During the PM2 cycle, Nerio went 3-4 with a dinger, four rbi and two runs scored. Gabby Connelly surrendered the wunderkind's 14th homer in 19 games in the second inning. It was the nail in Connelly's casket for the evening -- the River Otters hurler gave up six earned on 12 hits in 1 2/3 innings. It also marked Nerio's 10th multi-hit game this season.

Through the AM cycle, Nerio's line:

19g, 21R, 29H, 14HR, 29RBI, .382BA, .429 OBP, .974SLG, 1.403 OPS.

At his current pace, Nerio averages one homer every 5.42 at bats. Nerio averages four at-bats per game. Assuming Nerio plays 150 games and gets 600 at bats, Nerio is on pace for 100 home runs. Not too shabby for $1.52m per year.
