Fantasy Analysis
Pence has hit safely in seven of eight games to push his average from .260 to .265. He has not been as good as a second-year player in 2008 as he was during his breakout rookie season. He'll still post modest power and speed numbers, but Pence is more of a No. 4 Fantasy OF at this time. (Updated 07/22/2008).
