But those dreams were dashed during June and July, when he hit just .233 and .189, respectively. Still, if Longoria can cut down on the 140 strikeouts he totaled this year, he's capable of challenging Alex Rodriguez as fantasy's top third baseman. http://www.fantasysp.com/player/mlb/Evan_Longoria/572772 572772 Thu, 08 Oct 2009 16:00:39 EDT mlb.com http://www.fantasysp.com/player/mlb/Evan_Longoria/572772 Longoria ended his season on a high note Sunday, connecting for his 33rd home run.

Longoria turned a corner to fantasy superstardom in '09 as he capitalized on his fantastic rookie year. Longoria finished with a nine-point improvement in his batting average (from .272 to .281) and made notable progress in his home runs (27 to 33) and RBIs (85 to 113). Toss in his 100 runs and 9 stolen bases, and fantasy owners are presented with a player worthy of a first round pick in 2010. http://www.fantasysp.com/player/mlb/Evan_Longoria/565729 565729 Sun, 04 Oct 2009 19:16:17 EDT mlb.com http://www.fantasysp.com/player/mlb/Evan_Longoria/565729 Longoria goes 3-for-3, homers Evan Longoria went 3-for-3 and popped his 33rd homer of the season in a 10-2 loss to the Yankees on Sunday.

Our View: Longoria lived up to the hype in his first full season and ended the year with a .281 average, 33 homers and 113 RBI. He stumbled in June and July, but finished strong to become one of the most productive third basemen in the game.

His multi-RBI Those two ribbies boost Longoria's season total to 114, fourth-most in the American League. His multi-RBI performance also snaps a relative cold streak for Longoria, who had just two ribbies in his previous 10 games and had just one multi-RBI game in his last 24 starts. Longoria has had a terrific all-around season, but it's hard to fault his owners for hoping that he finishes it on one of his signature RBI tears. http://www.fantasysp.com/player/mlb/Evan_Longoria/562248 562248 Fri, 02 Oct 2009 22:24:17 EDT mlb.com http://www.fantasysp.com/player/mlb/Evan_Longoria/562248 Rays extend team homers record News: From The Sports Xchange notes: OF Gabe Kapler, OF/INF Ben Zobrist, 3B Evan Longoria and Willy Aybar all homered Monday as the Rays broke and then extended the team record for homers in a season to 193.
