An owner in one of my leagues has 1969 Harmon Killebrew (49 HR real life) in Fulton (+3/+3 for homers). 

Killebrew was doing well for the first 97 games:

31 home runs, 89 RBI

Guess his HR/RBI totals for the next 32 games.

(Hint: He's been at 100% all 129 games of the season, so fatigue isn't an issue.)

mid-season steroid testing must have been in play...

He hit a solo shot a couple games ago, so he's up to 1 home run, 4 RBI in his past 36 games...

`69 Killebrew only averages 32 HR in SIM, so he could be expected to cool off -- just not go ice cold.  Without knowing his home/away splits, I predict a modest recovery the rest of the way -- 6 HR/17 RBI from here on, so he ends up with 38 HR/;110 RBI.

He's on a strong team, 2nd overall in the standings, 2nd overall in runs scored.   They were hotter in the first part of the season (1st overall for a while) so Killebrew's slump has hurt them a bit, but they'll cruise to the playoffs (currently 12 up on the nearest wild card rival).

By the way, Killebrew has an RBI in each of the past 3 games, so he's up to 1 HR and 7 RBI in his past 41 games.  That's a tad over a quarter of a season; multiply those numbers by 4 and you get a full season of 4 home runs and 28 RBI -- for a player batting cleanup on a good team!
