9 homers in the first 13 games in 2006.....good times.

I'd like to see someone go crazy like that again....even if it is a scrub.

Shane Spencer's 1998 call-up comes to mind. The guy hit three grand slams in 67 at bats:

Year 	Age 	Tm 	Lg 	G 	PA 	AB 	R 	H 	2B 	3B 	HR 	RBI 	SB 	CS 	BB 	SO 	BA 	OBP 	SLG 	OPS 	OPS+ 	TB 	GDP 	HBP 	SH 	SF 	IBB 	Pos 	1998 	26 	NYY 	AL 	27 	73 	67 	18 	25 	6 	0 	10 	27 	0 	1 	5 	12 	.373 	.411 	.910 	1.321 	236 	61 	0 	0 	0 	1 	0 	9/7D3

This had me scrambling to add Fernando Tatis.

Anytime I think of WIS cookies, I think Shane Spencer.

Don Aase got a 2 inning save in the Mets opener in 1989. I bid a buck for him in a NL league hoping there'd be more where that came from. He got one more save all season

With inflation, that was like 37 bucks in today's money. 18.50 a save. Not your best spending old man.

Lots of fantasy analysts (I won't name names here) lost their collective minds that day.

I could see Rajai Davis busting out early like this. But he won't be a late round/undrafted type guy.

Others:

Chris Johnson

David Murphy

longshot - Brent Morel

These are the toughest guys to trade when they explode in the first week. But when you have that guy, you HAVE to try to trade him. There's always that one owner who will give up too much. There's no better feeling than to watch a player crash just after you trade him. Especially with a pitcher, when you trade just before an epic meltdown.

How about John Paciorek?

His ML debut:

5 PA

3 Hits

2 BB

He never plays another game in the majors.

His lifetime BA and OBP=1.000
