“My AL MVP for 2013. Read more at http://www.FantasySportsEmpires.com ”

 

“Jones hit .280 or higher in each of his last two seasons while showing big gains in his home run totals. Jones is in his prime and should put up numbers similar to 2012, if not better.”

“Bruce has consistently improved each season he has been in the big leagues and is showing he has the potential to reach 40 home runs and maybe his 75% stolen base rate will give Dusty the confidence to allow the 26 yr old Bruce more stolen base opportunites in 2013.”

“At age 27, 30+ HR now expected as few of his 32 last year were cheap”

“Not yet 26, has back-to-back 30+ HR campaigns”

“Adam Jones finally found his power stroke and went for 32 HRs in 2012 as well as stealing a career high 16 Bases. While those numbers are good, Adam did only manage a very unimpressive 82 RBIs. This season with Brian Roberts healthy giving the Orioles their first relevant lead-off hitter since Brady Anderson, RBIs should come to Jones who can go 30/100/20 easily in 2013.”

“One season Jay Bruce is going to hit 50 HRs. I would not over pay this season to see it, but 40 HRs with a .250 batting average should be a lock for Bruce in 2013.”

“Do you want McCutchen-like production at a discounted price? If so, Jones is your man. ”

“He?s yet to put it all together over a full season, but this durable 25-year-old (26 in April) has shown growth in all rotisserie categories, except average, over the past three seasons. ”
