7th HR tonight for Tulo. He is ripping the ball early this season. Can he PLEASE play 150 games this year!?

Will Troy Tulowitzki ever put it together for a full season?

I hope he can play 150 - his stats will be top 5 in all of baseball easily. So far so good for the Rockies first month! I really like this years team.

I had to add this after reading it on cnnsi.com (rightfully putting Tulo as the early frontrunner for NL MVP). I added the bold to the relevant text.
Tulowitzki was off to an excellent start of human proportions before he hit his second home run of the season on April 18. In his last dozen games dating back to that one, he has hit .415/.538/.976 with six home runs, which is just silly. Given his otherworldly performance at the plate, Tulowitzki would be leading this race even if he wasn't a shortstop who plays his position extremely well, but he is, which means he's lapping the field. Did I mention he has 20 walks against just 13 strikeouts? Ridiculous. It is going to be even more disappointing than usual when he gets hurt this year.

I know this sounds nuts, but IF he has another month as good as his April (.350/7/25), he'd already have the numbers that ALOT of shortstops would take for their Season totals!
But like most Rockies, the road BA disparity will hurt his stature in some folks eyes...

This year, it's been crazy lopsided. He's superhuman at home, crummy on the road.
After today's game:
Home 47 at bats: .596 avg., 6 hr, 21 rbi
Away 56 at bats: .250 avg., 3 hr, 8 rbi
Sad thing is his away stats are still the best for all shortstops. He's far and away the best shortstop in the game currently.

I don't think he will miss any time from this injury.

How much would that go for today?Who still has boxes?
No clue - haven't looked for this product in years. As far as I know only one autographed printing plate has surfaced (cyan - I own it) and the gold autograph 1/1 are all still in packs somewhere. Makes a break on this product enticing if any can be found.

I only saw a few boxes listed yesterday, around $100 a box.How much was your plate?
I don't remember - bought it back in 2005 when the product was new. I purchased everything I own of Tulo from that set for a lot less than it goes for today.

To answer the thread title's question: Nope, not this year.
The Rockies just put Tulo on the DL with a hip strain.
It's a shame this guy won't have the big career stats because he gets hurt so much.
He turns 30 in a couple of months and only has 1,000 hits and 173 home runs.
He'll be lucky to double that, and with the Coors Field stigma, he has no shot at the Hall of Fame.
