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

“On my 2013 all bust team.”

“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.”

“if he proves to be healthy in spring training then he could move into a second tier option”

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

 

“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.”

“Napoli is not near 100% with a hip injury. Despite being able to hit 24 HRs in a terrible year last season with Texas, and clubbing out 30 HRs in less than 120 games last season. Mike Nap comes into Boston as one of the preimere bats. Health is a huge concern this Spring with the hip, he may not even start the season. Will still need to be the Red Sox man, but keep in mind it is a long season and you always want to come in 100% healthy.”

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

“There's potential for great value here. A 4th round pick just last season, Napoli moves to Boston, where he'll spend plenty of time at 1B. ”
