If you decide to draft Pena, make sure that you have plenty of high-average hitters in your fantasy stable. Big power numbers are a virtual certainty, but your team BA is bound to take a hit. .240-90-40-105-3 in 480 AB

Positives / Upside	The former hot-prospect-turned-bust has become one of the game's most prolific home run hitters, mashing 39 taters in just 471 at-bats last season. He will once again bat in the middle of what looks like a solid Rays lineup, and he'll have the extra motivation of impending free agency at the end of the '10 campaign. Pena has an exceptional batting eye, and he is a legitimate 40-homer threat who will be available at a bargain price on draft day. .250-95-43-110-5 in 500 AB
Negatives / Downside	Pena's power is undeniable -- it's what happens on those occasions when the ball doesn't leave the yard that worries us. Carlos has whiffed 329 times over the past two seasons, and his career batting average is a lowly .247. An assortment of injuries has limited him every season, and his career-best total is just 490 at-bats. .230-80-33-90-0 in 420 AB
Recommendation	Only at a discount
Draft Position	66
