“Alexei went the wrong way with his power last season after being a player that could potentially hit 20, only ended up with 8. What we did see from Ramirez was a surprisingly 20 SBs. This is a very similar situation to Aaron Hill a couple years ago where his speed went up and his power went down, he went on to have the best season of his career giving a healthy dosage of both power/speed.”

“Phillips went from a 30/30 player to a 20/20 player, to now a 20/20 season is maybe the ceiling for how good he can be. We all know Brandon is an ELITE talent, but if he's going to put up the same numbers 5 years straight with a slight decline each year. There may not be much hope for 31 Year Old for a brighter future.”

 

“Has Cano-like consistency if not quite Cano-like upside”

 

“The safest pick you won't have to empty the bank on, Phillips is a reliable five-category producer. ”

 

“Phillips is another guy that won't hurt you in any category. He won't blow you away anywhere, either.”
