His BB/K ratio remained nearly identical (65/93 in '08, 68/99 in '09), as did his OBP (.356 in '08, .352 in '09). It's looking like he's here to stay as a solid power/speed contributor, albeit one who might not provide much help in the batting average department. http://www.fantasysp.com/player/mlb/Nate_Mclouth/591597 591597 Mon, 19 Oct 2009 10:52:25 EDT mlb.com 33 days 17 hours 57 minutes http://www.fantasysp.com/player/mlb/Nate_Mclouth/591597 This is the second consecutive campaign of 20 or more homers for McLouth, who's seen his AB/HR rate shrink from 18.9 in 45 games with the Pirates to just 30.8 in 84 contests with the Braves. Despite the decline in power with the Braves, the center fielder remained an above-average fantasy option with a .256 batting average, 70 RBIs, 86 runs and 19 steals. http://www.fantasysp.com/player/mlb/Nate_Mclouth/565719 565719 Sun, 04 Oct 2009 19:12:20 EDT mlb.com 48 days 9 hours 37 minutes http://www.fantasysp.com/player/mlb/Nate_Mclouth/565719 Nate McLouth clubbed his 20th homer of the season and represented the Braves only run in a 2-1, 15-inning loss to the Nationals.

Our View: McLouth had a disappointing fantasy season after a breakout campaign in 2008. He didn't play much better when he was traded to a more potent lineup either. He homered 11 times with the Braves in 84 games and hit nine with the Pirates in just 45 contests. http://www.fantasysp.com/player/mlb/Nate_Mclouth/565535 565535 Sun, 04 Oct 2009 18:12:01 EDT fanball.com 48 days 10 hours 37 minutes http://www.fantasysp.com/player/mlb/Nate_Mclouth/565535 News: Braves OF Nate McLouth hit a solo home run Thursday against the Nationals, finishing 1 for 4. The home run was his 19th. He also has 19 stolen bases.

Our View: Their lone run came via a solo Nate McLouth shot. In 81 games since being traded to Atlanta in June, he has hit .258 with ten home runs and 35 RBI. Solid numbers, but not exactly what the Braves envisioned. http://www.fantasysp.com/player/mlb/Nate_Mclouth/560236 560236 Thu, 01 Oct 2009 22:24:01 EDT fanball.com 51 days 6 hours 25 minutes http://www.fantasysp.com/player/mlb/Nate_Mclouth/560236
