“He just keeps getting better with age”

 

“34 yrs old and has history of injuries, but when healthy he is a stud”

 

“When will he start to fade? If not this year when? Extreme consistency makes me willing to gamble every year until that sharp decline eventually happens. Don't fret. He's a beast”

 

“Averaging .314/32/103/87 in 3 seasons since exiting Seattle”

“7th in MLB in Doubles (44), 3rd in Walks (94) despite just 111 games”

“Beltre continues to get better, even at 33 years old. It doesn't hurt that he plays in that ballpark with those teammates, either.”

“Votto missed about 50 games due to injury in 2012, but still produced more than most Shortstops.”

“There are not many 3B options as good as Adrian Beltre. Being the center piece of the Rangers, he could likely thrive to a new level of success. He hit .321 with 36 HRs and 102 RBIs. He is rock solid every year with Texas, and you should draft him with confidence that he will be a rock.”

“Votto is losing power potential by the season. Last year was cut short with an injury, and time is starting to tick as he has yet to hit over 30+ HRs in consecutive seasons and approaching 29 HRs. The speed is not the same as it once was, but the batting average should remain ELITE.”

“If you?re looking for Cabrera-like production at a lower price but with a bit more risk, then Beltre is your man. ”

“You cannot blame anyone for selecting Votto over Pujols, but will his surgically-repaired left knee hold up for the entire season?”

 

“Joey Votto also fell to the injury bug and missed 2 months on the DL with an injured knee in 2012. With his knee injury behind him, I look for the 29 year old Votto to return to form and to be a safer pick from regression than Albert Pujols.
