“Gonzalez's power and BB% drops are a bit worrisome, but it hasn't affected his AVG, so he should be fine in roto leagues.”

“It's amazing how quickly Utley has fallen from best player in baseball to guy from that 'It's Always Sunny' bit.”

“A-Gonz came into 2012 with a bad shoulder, he switched teams towards the end of the season and still managed to hit around .300 with over 100 RBIs. He will be comfortable again in the NL West and is locked and loaded in a stacked Dodgers lineup this season.”

“Utley was a player who did not start playing baseball well into the season. He never got the rhythm or the timing that he needed from seeing pitches since April. The days of Chase being a .300 hitter with 20 HR/20 SB potential is still there, and you could be giving up the trophy if you let someone else grab him late.”

“He could make a lot of owners look very smart this season. Expect a return to form in his return to the West Coast. ”

“After being sworn off by many after news of his degenerative knee condition last season, he's hanging on and still producing when he's on the field. ”

“Career low HR/FB rate in '12 looks unlucky given batted ball profile”

 

“avg and RBI opportunties should be plenty”

“was a top 5 2B & stole 5 bases in that span showing that you can have confidence in his knee(s)”
