“He went through an adjustment period to start his first season in the A.L., but that will not be a problem this year. ”

 

“Pujols started out the 2012 season on the slower end of things. Eventually he picked up on hitting American League pitchers and was able to mash like the BEAST he is. Now with Josh Hamilton protecting him in the lineup, 40 HR/110 RBI should come with his eyes closed.”

“Reynolds started 2012 slower than most, and he finished 2012 stronger than nearly everyone. Mark is now on Cleveland, a team that will depend on his power and production throughout the year, but also is notorious for having a tough ball park for righties to launch it. Still you have to like Mark in 2013 as a great sleeper that can make a difference.”

“Age is the only reason I rank Votto above Pujols. Both are the ideal 1st Baseman. They do it all.”

“Had rough AL initiation last April, but was vintage Albert after that”

 
 

“Needs 10 games”
