Player Profile #114: Freddie Freeman | 1B | ATL
Freddie Freeman did not have a friendly start to the 2011 season, but it ended with quite a bang. Over his final 114 games (4+ months), Freeman hit 17 home runs with a .300/.356/.479 line, but because of his poor start his overall numbers weren’t as good as they could’ve been. While Freeman lacks the power upside of a top tier first baseman he could develop better power...

James Loney Makes Top Five List...Of Most Frustrating Players
Geez, this was really not where I wanted to find FJL. However I have to say that at least from the Dodgers' perspective, the enigma that is Loney is indeed a point of frustration:
