“Didn't slow down all year proving that most of his previous struggles in years past were health related. I'm a believer & Hill will provide some SB that Cano won't”

 

“Has exorcised his demons in ARZ (.880 OPS in 189 games)”

“Rollercoaster ride, but you should get .260/20/80/100/20 in the end”

“What Aaron Hill will show up this year? Assuming last season was for real is a risk worth taking at a thin position. ”

“Kinsler has a history of being injury-prone and has produced inconsistent power and average numbers, but still among the better options. ”

“Hill is back to normal after that horrid 2010. Expect a slight drop in RBI with Upton gone, though.”

“Kinsler has hit 18 or more HR and stolen more than 20 bases 5 of the last 6 seasons (other one due to injury), and 2 of those seasons were 30HR/30SB years.”

“Aaron Hill is a legitimate 20/20 player who may hurt your batting average more than you would want. Despite that, it is hard to find a player with his consistency, and his 20 HRs could be closer to 25+ if he has a good season. Do not let him slip.”

“Kinsler went from a 30/30 player to a 20/20 player. We all know he is closer to the 30/30 potential and Kinsler seemed to be very ICE cold at a lot of bad times throughout the 2012 season. If Kinler remains consistent like players in the BEAST category should, you can get one of the most dynamic fantasy players in the game today at a scarce position. He will always be among the league leaders in runs.”

 

“I believe his 30/30 seasons more than last year”
