“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”

 

“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.”

“Going to Oakland, Jed will miss the tiny ball park in Minute Maid. He was on pace to rack up around 30 HRs before getting injured, now in Oakland you can hope he reaches that 15 number again. The Coliseum is known as a pitchers park, but somehow the A's offense was one of the tops in baseball in 2012.”
