“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.”

“Cuddyer was primed to be a 30/100 player before injuries cut his season short. He comes into 2013 with a clean bill of health, and some surprise speed to show us that 13 SBs with those 30 HRs was definitely possible. Do not sleep on Cuddyer who has a HUGE edge playing for the Rockies, wait till he plays there in the Summer.”
