You'd have thought that someone in the organization could have foreseen a jump in slugging eventually for him.<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->
Why? Mark Grace showed doubles power, but that wasn't indicative of a future home run surge. I think if you are making up a list of "guys whose power surges were foreseeable", Palmeiro, McGwire and Sosa should rank pretty far down on that list.

I wish that I believed in Fate. I wish I didn't sleep so late. I used to be carried in the arms of cheerleaders.
