Who Should I Draft?

“25/25 skills are real but the '12 BA (.327) is likely to regress a bit”

“Mr. Rock Steady in a .300/25/100 kind of way”

“Can you trust his batting average?”

“One of the most underrated players in the game”

“Yet another five-category star at the position, his second-half struggles have some concerned. But the 26-year-old is worth the investment after making a huge jump into the top-tier last season. ”

“ Andrew McCutchen had a career year with Pittsburgh last season, and I see a lot of regression for 2013. Although still in growth mode at age 26, there is nothing in his stats to say that he is a 30 home run hitter. In fact, he is closer to a 20 home run hitter. My bigger concern for McCutchen is his stolen bases. He gets caught stealing more than you might think. Here is a breakdown of his numbers: SB CS SB% 33 10 77% 23 10 70% 20 12 63% ...”

“Does not get more Clutch than Cutch. In 2012 he showed the full package with a .327 Average that brought him 31 HRs/96 RBIs/20 SBs. He vows to steal more in 2013, but the power will likely not get any better. He is a rising star and 30/30 is more than possible.”

“While we want to think Holliday will continue to improve, at the age of 33 we may have seen his last days of hitting 30 HRs. You can draft him for that total in 2013, but just know after 27 in 2012 it is not likely to get much higher than that. ”

“McCutchen finshed 2011 with a .259 BA, hit .253 in last two months of 2012 while SB have declined each of the last three seasons (SB rate was just 63% in 2012)”

“Is there any player less recognized for his consistent production year in and year out?”
