If you don't think it's sustainable, that's understandable, especially on a team Brady Anderson once hit 50 homers for, but give him credit for the phenomenal season he had this year, would you?

I think most people believe he had two seasons: pre and post AS break.
Code:
.345 .416 .591
.274 .351 .419
Of course, the AS break isn't some magical end point in the data, but it puts in easy contrast the full season Roberts really had.
