“This ranking marks what a clean bill of health produces”

 

“Past 162 games: .308, 30 HR, 115 RBI, 98 R”

 

“Industry is finally getting on the Allen Craig bandwagon, rightfully so. Now, if he could just stay healthy enough to get over 500 AB's for the first time in his career he could put up top 10 Fantasy numbers”

“less discrepancy in splits compared to those ranked below him ”

“Everyone's new fantasy darling after .307, 22 HR, 92 RBI in 469 AB. Count me in. But durability is a concern. ”

 

“Craig is a big part of the Cardinals big lineup and came into 2012 a month into the season. Once Allen was there, the 30/100 potential with .300 batting average took this team to the next level. Craig will be the man for the Cardinals this season, and there is no reason to think he will not give you a solid 30/100 season with consistent production throughout.”

“Rizzo has 30/100 written all over him this season. It is unfortunate that he has a terrible Cubs team surrounding him minus Starlin Catro. But Rizzo is still young and is still one of the bright futures of the 1B position in baseball. Draft him with great upside to be a consistent RBI machine.”

 

“Rizzo's a great pick in keeper drafts. He has the potential to lead the league in home runs some day, just probably not this year.”

 

“Sleeper - Michael Morris”
