I never concern myself with performance stats in the fall/winter leagues, because many of these players are there to work on specific things rather than concentrate on doing the best total job that they can. Also, I feel many of the players lose some of their competitive focus in these leagues after a full season of concentration on doing their best when they really ARE competing within and for their own organization.

So, I would never read anything into an Expo having a bad game, or even an entire "season" down there with little production. And I would never read anything into Iglesias' capabilities or readiness based on his statistics for a few games, or even for the entire "season." After all, he's fresh [and, on the other hand, could also be a little rusty] and this is his first opportunity in this country to impress anybody, so he might be expected to be a little sharper mentally than most of the players in the AFL. The important thing about Iglesias from what he has shown is that he has power AT ALL, which we had no idea about before he actually took the field. How it translates to high minor league performance we have no idea until he takes the field next spring.

Just to confirm the hype, I hope to hear about some eye-popping plays on defense from him as well this fall - but in a short season he may have very limited opportunities to impress that way, because of statistical variability if nothing else.
